SERVICE BRAKES, AIR
- The defect
- Autocar, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain 2020-2024 DC (Legend) vehicles. A software error may cause the low air pressure warning to not function properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
- What it can cause
- A low air pressure warning that does not function properly can result in driving without functioning brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the low air pressure warning software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 26, 2024. Owners may contact Autocar customer service at 1-888-218-3611. Autocar's number for this recall is DC-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 586 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 52% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Autocar vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, air 9 times before this, most recently in April 2022 as 22V216000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 27 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V679000 (steering), 25V660000 (steering), 25V209000 (service brakes, air), 25V208000 (electrical system).
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 February 29, 2024 as campaign 24V162000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
