Autocar recall: Interior lighting
What is wrong
Autocar Industries, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Xspotter vehicles. These vehicles were manufactured without a dimmer switch to adjust the dash illumination brightness. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 101, "Control and Displays."
What could happen
Without a switch to adjust the dash illumination brightness, the dash lights may be too dim or too bright with either condition increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Autocar will notify owners and dealers will install a dimmer switch to adjust dash illumination, free of charge. The recall began on March 10, 2017. Owners may contact Autocar customer service at 1-765-489-5499. Autocar's number for this recall is ACTT-1701.
