ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE
- The defect
- Autocar, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain 2023-2025 ACTT (Xspotter) vehicles. A software error may allow the vehicle to exceed the speed governor limit. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 136, "Electronic Stability Control Systems on Heavy Vehicles."
- What it can cause
- Driving at speeds greater than 33 mph can result in a loss of handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the vehicle and drive motor software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 30, 2025. Owners may contact Autocar customer service at 1-888-218-3611. Autocar's number for this recall is ACTT-2402.
- 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 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 104 vehicles this is a small campaign: 69% 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 2023 to 2025, 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 electrical system 15 times before this, most recently in May 2024 as 24V264000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V451000 (equipment), 25V449000 (service brakes, air), 25V258000 (electrical system), 24V080000 (steering).
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 December 9, 2024 as campaign 24V819000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
