Autocar, LLC "Autocar" is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 Xpeditor vehicles manufactured March 2, 2015, to September 22, 2016. The castle nuts on the steering linkage assembly may not have been tightened properly.
If the castle nuts were not properly tightened, the cotter pin could shear and the steering linkage assembly components could separate, resulting in the loss of steering and increasing the risk of a crash.
Autocar will notify owners, and dealers will tighten the steering linkage castle nuts, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during November 2016. Owners may contact Autocar customer service at 1-888-218-3611. Autocar's number for this recall is ACX-1604.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.safercar.gov.
