Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Autocar Industries is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 Xpert vehicles manufactured between July 11, 2011, and March 5, 2014, due to a brake safety issue. The bolts that secure the brake valve to the cab may not be tightened to the required specification, which could cause a failure in the connection between the air lines and the brake valve, resulting in a loss of brake line air pressure and increased crash risk.
Autocar will notify owners and dealers will correct the brake valve mounting at no charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Autocar's customer service at 1-765-489-5499 and reference recall number M-1406.
