Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Autocar, LLC is recalling certain 2011-2016 Xpeditor vehicles manufactured between October 12, 2010, and May 4, 2015, due to a defect in the synchronization valve. The affected vehicles have a specific part number (A7660006-001) and certain cab configurations where the park brake button is located to the right of the steering wheel. If an operator tries to release the park brake without first firmly applying the service brake, the park brake may engage unexpectedly at any speed, which increases the risk of a crash.
Autocar will notify owners of the recall, and dealers will replace the synchronization valve with one that has a lower opening pressure at no charge. The recall began on July 8, 2015. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Autocar customer service at 1-765-489-5499 and reference recall number ACX-1502 to arrange for the repair.
