SUSPENSION:CRITICAL FASTENERS
- The defect
- Autocar, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain 2020-2026 Autocar DC (Legend) trucks. The cab shock absorber bracket fasteners may have been improperly secured, allowing the fasteners to detach.
- What it can cause
- A detached fastener can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and secure or replace the fasteners as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 27, 2025. Owners may contact Autocar at 1-888-218-3611. Autocar's number for this recall is DC-2502.
- 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 958 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 58% 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 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Autocar vehicles have been recalled over the suspension 7 times before this, most recently in November 2020 as 20V689000. 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 January 28, 2025 as campaign 25V036000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
