Autocar recall: Back over prevention
What is wrong
Autocar, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain model year 2010-2013 Xpeditor heavy-duty class 8 vehicles, manufactured from September 10, 2010, through September 10, 2012, equipped with a vehicle rearward rollaway alarm. The motion sensor for the alarm may not have been installed correctly and the alarm may fail to sound when the vehicle is out of gear and in a rearward rollaway situation.
What could happen
Without an audible warning that the vehicle is in a rearward rollaway situation, there is an increased risk that the vehicle may hit a pedestrian or another vehicle.
The fix
Autocar will notify owners, and dealers will repair the affected vehicles, free of charge. The safety began on December 6, 2012. Owners may contact Autocar, LLC, at 1-765-489-5499.
