STEERING:CRITICAL FASTENERS
- The defect
- Autocar, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain 2023-2026 ACX (Xpeditor) and DC (Legend) vehicles. The steering wheel nut may be improperly secured, allowing the steering wheel to separate from the steering column.
- What it can cause
- A steering wheel separation may result in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Autocar will inspect and secure the steering wheel nut as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 28, 2025. Owners may contact Autocar customer service at 1-888-218-3611. Autocar's numbers for this recall are ACX-2504 and DC-2506.
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 4,687 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 74% 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 2026, 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 steering 27 times before this, most recently in April 2024 as 24V080000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 31 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V215000 (engine and engine cooling), 26V055000 (electronic stability control (esc)), 25V746000 (forward collision avoidance), 25V679000 (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 October 3, 2025 as campaign 25V660000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
