SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:RESERVOIR/TANK
- The defect
- Autocar, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain 2023-2024 DC (Legend) vehicles. The air tanks have an insufficient volume of air for the brake system. 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
- Insufficient air volume can reduce brake function, extending the distance required to stop and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace or add additional air tanks as necessary, free of charge. All vehicles were repaired by May 23, 2025. Owners may contact Autocar customer service at 1-888-218-3611. Autocar's number for this recall is DC-2504.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-888-275-9171) 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 5 vehicles this is a small campaign: 95% 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 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Autocar vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, air 10 times before this, most recently in February 2024 as 24V162000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

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 3, 2025 as campaign 25V209000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
