Has your Autocar been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Autocar dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

January 23, 2023NHTSA 23V02300011,353 vehicles potentially affected

Engine and engine cooling › Engine

Summary
Autocar, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain model year 2008-2014 ACX, WX, and WXLL vehicles manufactured July 30, 2007, through February 10, 2014, and equipped with certain Cummins Westport Model ISL G or ISX12 G engines. Condensation in the intake manifold may freeze during cold weather conditions and interfere with the proper operation of the intake manifold pressure sensor.
Consequence
The improper operation of the sensor could induce elevated exhaust temperatures or flames from the exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire or burn injury to a person near the exhaust pipe.
Remedy
Cummins Inc. and Cummins Wesport Inc. will notify owners, and authorized Cummins service facilities will upload a new ECM calibration, free of charge. The recall began on April 12, 2014.

Service brakes, air

Summary
Autocar, LLC is recalling certain model year 2005-2013 ACX, WX, and WXLL trucks built November 16, 2004, through September 10, 2012. On the affected vehicles, the air brake systems were built without the required air tank drain valve. Therefore, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 121, "Air Brake Systems."
Consequence
Air tanks with valves omitted will not drain if moisture is introduced into the tank, potentially reducing air capacity in the air brake system, which could cause a reduction in brake performance and equipment durability, thus increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Autocar will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on June 27, 2013. Owners may contact Autocar at 1-765-489-5499. Autocar's recall campaign number is A-1302.

Parking brake

Summary
Autocar is recalling 183 my 2008-2009 wxll heavy duty class 8 vehicles. The park brake button on the right-hand side of the vehicle should automatically set the park brake at 70-psi descending pressure on the primary air system when the work brake is applied. In the affected vehicles, the park brakes do not apply automatically at 70-psi; instead, they apply at 10-psi. The lines between the park brake valves may be crossed, causing them to apply incorrectly.
Consequence
Braking capability would increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and replace/repair the necessary components free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or before June 9, 2009. Owners may contact autocar at 1-765-489-5499.

February 19, 2009NHTSA 09V060000690 vehicles potentially affected

Parking brake › Driveline › Air

Summary
Autocar is recalling 690 my 2008-2009 acx, wx and wxll heavy duty class 8 vehicles equipped with quick release valves (qrv). There are qrv's in two areas of the vehicle. The first is in the lift axle air lines. A leak in that qrv would affect the rate at which the tag/pusher axle is lowered/lifted. The second is in the park brake air lines. A leak in that qrv would release pressure on the park brake springs; if the lead is large enough, the pressure will drop and set the brakes on the rear axle.
Consequence
Drivers would not be aware of brake system failure and braking capability would not be possible, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Autocar will notify owners and provide instructions for scheduling repair of the vehicle at an authorized autocar service facility, at no cost to the vehicle's owner. The recall began on April 9, 2009. Owners may contact autocar at 1-765-489-5499.

Steering › Gear box › Shaft sector

Summary
Autocar is recalling 127 my 2008-2009 acx, wx, and wxll heavy duty class 8 trucks. Insufficient torque was applied during the assembly process to the nut on the pinch bolt that secures the lower steering shaft to the steering gear box. It was found that the torque controlled tool was calibrated to a lower torque rating than specified for the application.
Consequence
If the steering bolt were to loosen, the driver would experience loss of steering control increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Autocar will provide instructions to owners for scheduling repair of the vehicles. Dealers will torque the steering knuckle bolt to the correct specifications free of charge. The recall began on November 25, 2008. Owners may contact autocar at 1-765-489-5499.

September 3, 2008NHTSA 08V447000770 vehicles potentially affected

Structure › Frame and members › Underbody shields

Summary
Autocar is recalling 770 my 2007-2009 wxll heavy duty class 8 vehicles equipped with residential front-loader applications. These vehicles may develop cracks mainly in the top flange of the rh extension of the frame rail at the front splay break where the re-enforcing straps are welded. During front-loader operation, residual hydraulic pressure causes the front loader system to push down on the bumper-mounted brackets, causing visible deflection of the chassis from the suspension front hanger bracket forward.
Consequence
The deflection may eventually result in cracking of the frame rail.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the front frame extensions with the new i-beam extension design. The recall began on September 29, 2008. Owners may contact autocar at 1-765-489-5499.
