What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Autocar, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Xpeditor vehicles. The rear axle brake may have a delayed release. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."

The risk

A delayed brake release may increase the risk of crash.

Autocar will notify owners, and dealers will re-work the air brake systems, free of charge. The recall began July 8, 2091. Owners may contact Autocar customer service at 1-888-218-3611 or 1-877-973-3486. Autocar's number for this recall is ACX-1905.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
