What this recall means for you
This recall covers certain Autocar Xpeditor trucks, including 2019 and 2020 models, that have an aftermarket power take off (PTO) installed. When the PTO system is engaged and the vehicle is operated from the right-side stand-up position, the engine may stall or hesitate.
A stall or hesitation can cause the vehicle to roll backwards, which increases the risk of a crash or personal injury. If you own an affected vehicle, be cautious when operating the PTO from that position and contact Autocar before continuing to use it that way.
Autocar will install a hill start aide system on affected vehicles at no cost to you. Owners can contact Autocar customer service at 1-888-218-3611 or 1-877-973-3486, and should also check their VIN for open recalls. This recall expands recall 20V-496.
