    Structure / Frame and Members / Underbody Shields

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Autocar is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 wx and wxr heavy duty class 8 lcoe vehicles. The affected vehicles may develop cracks in the top flange of the front frame rail extension. Over time, the crack may propagate across the extension bracket, potentially causing the extension bracket to deform under load. These tires are all asymmetrical tread patterns with "outer" indicated on the outside sidewall. The outside sidewall contains the full tire identification number including the production date code.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    This may compromise the control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Autocar will notify owners and repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on march 19, 2010. Owners may contact autocar at 1-765-489-5499.

    Equipment / Other / Labels

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Certain trucks fail to comply with requirements of part 568, 'vehicles manufactured in two or more stages, all incomplete, intermediate and final-stage manufacturers of vehicles manufactured in two or more stages.' the gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr) label, as applied, may not be accurate. The gvwr label may indicate that the vehicle's load capacity is higher than the designed weight rating.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Due to the error in gvwr labeling, it is possible that a vehicle could be overloaded without the vehicle operator's knowledge. A vehicle in an overloaded condition may be susceptible to component failure that may result in loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Autocar will send a letter which describes the discrepancy in gvwr labeling, and will include a complete set of revised gvwr labels including a revised incomplete vehicle document label along with instructions for application of the labels. The recall began on december 7, 2007. Owners may contact autocar at 1-765-489-5499.
