EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS
- The defect
- Autocar, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Xpeditor (ACX) vehicles. The hazard lights will not function when the ignition is off. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- What it can cause
- Inoperable hazard lights increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will repair or replace the wire harness, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on June 13, 2022. Owners may contact Autocar's customer service at 1-888-218-3611 or 1-877-973-3486. Autocar's number for this recall is ACX-2202.
- 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 908 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 57% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 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 exterior lighting 2 times before this, most recently in November 2021 as 21V867000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 26 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 April 15, 2022 as campaign 22V262000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
