- What it can cause
- An inaccurate fuel gauge may result in the vehicle unexpectedly running out of fuel and stalling, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the instrument cluster software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 22, 2023. Owners may contact Autocar customer service at 1-888-218-3611. Autocar's number for this recall is ACX-2301.

- 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 206 vehicles this is a small campaign: 60% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Autocar vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 11 times before this, most recently in June 2022 as 22V437000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 33 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V055000 (electronic stability control (esc)), 25V660000 (steering), 25V449000 (service brakes, air), 24V515000 (structure).
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 23, 2023 as campaign 23V018000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
