ENGINE
- The defect
- Autocar, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Xpeditor vehicles equipped with X12N engines. The engine ground cable is too short and may fail.
- What it can cause
- If the ground cable fails, the engine may stall without the ability to restart, and increase the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Autocar will notify owners and dealers will replace the ground cable, free of charge. Autocar issued owners an interim notification on January 4, 2021 informing owners of the safety risk. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 5, 2022. Owners can contact Autocar customer service at 1-888-218-3611 or 1-877-973-3486. Autocar's number for this recall is ACX-2007.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

It covers model years 2020 to 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.

Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
