SEAT BELTS
- The defect
- Autocar, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain 2018-2021 Xpeditor vehicles. These vehicles may have a seat belt harness routing located too close to the seat mechanism. If the harness chafes and short circuits, the circuit protection fuse will open, and the engine will shut off and not restart.
- What it can cause
- The vehicle may stall and not restart, without warning, increasing the risk of a crash, personal injury or property damage.
- What the dealer does
- Autocar will notify owners, and dealers will route and secure the seatbelt wiring clear of the seat mechanism, free of charge. The recall began on March 25, 2021. Owners may contact Autocar customer service at 1-888-218-3611 or 1-877-973-3486. Autocar's number for this recall is ACX-2101.
- 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 .

How this campaign compares
At 3,196 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 70% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Autocar vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts 5 times before this, most recently in March 2014 as 14V133000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 27 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V449000 (service brakes, air), 23V699000 (parking brake), 23V400000 (electrical system), 23V373000 (latches/locks/linkages).
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.
Filed by Autocar, LLC with NHTSA on January 28, 2021 as campaign 21V030000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
