Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Autocar is recalling certain 2011-2012 ACTT heavy duty class 8 terminal tractors manufactured between February 23, 2011, and June 24, 2011. These vehicles may develop cracks in the top flange of the right-hand frame rail at the clearance cut-out for the engine air intake system due to high stress from severe duty cycles. Over time, cracking in the frame rail may propagate and cause the frame rail to fail, which could result in changes in vehicle handling or increase the risk of a crash.
Owners will receive a notification letter with instructions for scheduling free repair at an authorized Autocar service facility. The recall began on September 28, 2011. Owners may contact Autocar at 1-765-489-5499.
