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.

Structure › Frame and members › Underbody shields

Summary
Autocar is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 wx and wxr heavy duty class 8 lcoe vehicles. The affected vehicles may develop cracks in the top flange of the front frame rail extension. Over time, the crack may propagate across the extension bracket, potentially causing the extension bracket to deform under load. These tires are all asymmetrical tread patterns with "outer" indicated on the outside sidewall. The outside sidewall contains the full tire identification number including the production date code.
Consequence
This may compromise the control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Autocar will notify owners and repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on March 19, 2010. Owners may contact autocar at 1-765-489-5499.

Equipment › Other › Labels

Summary
Certain trucks fail to comply with requirements of part 568, 'vehicles manufactured in two or more stages, all incomplete, intermediate and final-stage manufacturers of vehicles manufactured in two or more stages.' the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) label, as applied, may not be accurate. The GVWR label may indicate that the vehicle's load capacity is higher than the designed weight rating.
Consequence
Due to the error in GVWR labeling, it is possible that a vehicle could be overloaded without the vehicle operator's knowledge. A vehicle in an overloaded condition may be susceptible to component failure that may result in loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Autocar will send a letter which describes the discrepancy in GVWR labeling, and will include a complete set of revised GVWR labels including a revised incomplete vehicle document label along with instructions for application of the labels. The recall began on December 7, 2007. Owners may contact autocar at 1-765-489-5499.

Parking brake

Summary
On certain heavy duty class 8 vehicles equipped with bendix SR-7 spring brake modulating valves, the internal rubber check valve may leak causing a delay in the application of the spring brakes to park the vehicle after the operator pulls the dash valve button.

Remedy
