Autocar, LLC is recalling certain 2007-2009 model year WX and WXR heavy duty Class 8 vehicles because cracks may develop in the top flange of the front frame rail extension. Over time, these cracks can spread across the extension bracket and cause it to deform under load, which may compromise vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash.
Autocar will notify owners and repair the affected vehicles at no charge. The recall began on March 19, 2010. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Autocar at 1-765-489-5499.
