Summary

The telescopic steering shaft between the in-cab tilt steer gearbox components and the floor-mounted steering gearbox is too long, and one of the pinch bolts on the shaft may not be secured properly.
Consequence
Insufficient torque on the fastener that clamps the assemblies together could result in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Autocar is working with grove to have the chassis inspected and will replace the necessary components free of charge. Owners may contact autocar at 1-765-489-6001.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

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.
