What happened

Autocar, LLC is recalling certain 2014-2018 Xpeditor vehicles equipped with a single cross-member behind the engine and a front engine power take off (FEPTO). The mounting brackets of this cross member may fail prematurely due to improper spacing between components, which could cause the cross member to become loose and detach from the frame rails. If this occurs, components supported by the cross member may come loose from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

To remedy this issue, Autocar will notify owners and dealers will replace any damaged components and install additional support brackets and an additional cross member at no charge. Autocar issued an interim notification on September 18, 2020. Affected owners should contact Autocar's customer service at 1-888-218-3611 or 1-877-973-3486 and reference recall number ACX-2003.
