- The defect
- Autocar, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Xpeditor vehicles. The GPS module may have been improperly mounted under the dashboard and could come loose or disconnect entirely.
- What it can cause
- A loose or disconnected GPS module may interfere with the brake and/or throttle pedals, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will remount the GPS module, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 11, 2022. Owners may contact Autocar customer service at 1-888-218-3611 or 1-877-973-3486. Autocar's number for this recall is ACX-2109.
- 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.nhtsa.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 251 vehicles this is a small campaign: 58% of the 15,538 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 482. It covers model years 2021 to 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Autocar vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 9 times before this, most recently in February 2021 as 21V093000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 26 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V699000 (engine and engine cooling), 25V449000 (service brakes, air), 23V699000 (parking brake), 23V656000 (steering).
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 December 13, 2021 as campaign 21V966000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
