STEERING
- The defect
- Autocar, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain 2023 ACX (Xpeditor) and ACTT (Xspotter) vehicles. The steering gear assemblies may have been assembled incorrectly with fewer recirculating balls than are required, which may result in a loss of steering control.
- What it can cause
- A loss of steering control increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the steering gears as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 4, 2024. Owners may contact Autocar customer service at 1-888-218-3611. Autocar's numbers for this recall are ACX-2401 and ACTT-2401.
- 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 37 vehicles this is a small campaign: 81% 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 one model year, 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Autocar vehicles have been recalled over the steering 26 times before this, most recently in September 2023 as 23V656000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 21 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V055000 (electronic stability control (esc)), 25V660000 (steering), 25V451000 (equipment), 25V449000 (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 April 5, 2024 as campaign 24V080000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
