- Problem
- Autocar, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Xpeditor and 2021-2022 Legend vehicles equipped with a MRS 7" display. The display may restart during operation, resulting in the warning lights not being visible until the restart is completed. The display may restart during operation and the warning icons for the Seat Belt, Low Air, Check Engine, ABS, Park Brake Applied, Turn Signal Indicator, Fuel Level, Electrical Charge, Coolant Temperature and Oil Pressure will not be visible until restart has completed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 101, "Control and Displays."
- Risk
- During a display restart, warning lights such as the seat belt, check engine, fuel level, and other important warnings may not display, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
- Remedy
- Autocar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the display, free of charge. Interim notices informing owners of the safety risk were mailed April 19, 2021. A second notice will be sent when the remedy becomes available in February 2022. Owners may contact Autocar customer service at 1-888-218-3611 or 1-877-973-3486. Autocar's number for this recall is ACX-2102- DC-2101.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
The instrument display in these trucks may restart while the vehicle is running. Until the restart finishes, warning lights such as seat belt, check engine, ABS, parking brake, low air, fuel level, charging, coolant temperature, and oil pressure are not visible, so the driver may not see an important warning.
Because important warnings can be hidden, the risk of a crash or injury increases. The vehicles also do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 101 for controls and displays.
Owners will be notified, and an authorized dealer will replace the display at no charge. Interim notices were mailed April 19, 2021, and a second notice will be sent when the remedy is available in February 2022. You can contact Autocar customer service at 1-888-218-3611 or 1-877-973-3486, and you can check your VIN for open recalls.
