- The defect
- Autocar, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain 2023-2024 ACX (Xpeditor) and DC (Legend) vehicles. The axle lock nut may be improperly secured, allowing the wheel end to separate.
- What it can cause
- The wheel end separating from the vehicle increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and secure or replace the lock nut, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 26, 2024. Owners may contact Autocar customer service at 1-888-218-3611. Autocar's numbers for this recall are ACX-2402 and DC-2405.
- 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 .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 1,374 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 62% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2024, 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 power train 6 times before this, most recently in August 2023 as 23V571000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 29 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V055000 (electronic stability control (esc)), 25V679000 (steering), 25V660000 (steering), 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 May 30, 2024 as campaign 24V383000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
