    Service Brakes, Air

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Autocar, LLC is recalling certain model year 2005-2013 ACX, WX, and WXLL trucks built November 16, 2004, through September 10, 2012. On the affected vehicles, the air brake systems were built without the required air tank drain valve. Therefore, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 121, "Air Brake Systems."
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Air tanks with valves omitted will not drain if moisture is introduced into the tank, potentially reducing air capacity in the air brake system, which could cause a reduction in brake performance and equipment durability, thus increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Autocar will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on June 27, 2013. Owners may contact Autocar at 1-765-489-5499. Autocar's recall campaign number is A-1302.

    Seats

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain heavy duty class 8 xpeditor trucks, some of the seat base mounting fasteners that secure the seat base to the cab floor bracket may have been left loose or not installed at all. Improperly torqued seat-mounting fasteners may allow movement of the driver's seat while he/she is operating the vehicle.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    This movement could result in a temporary loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, repair the vehicle. The recall began on january 22, 2007. Owners may contact autocar at 1-877-973-3486, ext. 2572 or go to www.autocartruck.com.

    Suspension

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain heavy-duty class 8 vehicles, the tabs on some of the lift axle spindle nuts may have been broken during assembly. When in place, the tabs on the nuts prevent the nuts from loosening.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    When the tabs are broken, the possibility exists that the nut might spin off. If this happens, the wheel and wheel end assembly could fall off, increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the lift axle spindle nut. The recall began on june 5, 2006. Owners may contact autocar at 1-765-489-5499.
