- The defect
- Autocar, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain 2016-2023 ACX (Xpeditor) and 2020-2023 DC (Legend) vehicles. The park brake warning light may incorrectly illuminate during an air loss event. As such, these trucks fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 101, "Control and Displays."
- What it can cause
- A park brake warning light that illuminates incorrectly increases the risk of a crash.

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 .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 11,308 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 80% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2016 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 7 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Autocar vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 13 times before this, most recently in March 2023 as 23V193000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 54 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V055000 (electronic stability control (esc)), 25V660000 (steering), 25V449000 (service brakes, air), 25V209000 (service brakes, air).
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 June 2, 2023 as campaign 23V400000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
