Autocar Recalls 2016-2017 Xpeditor Trucks for Engine Stall Risk

Autocar is recalling 18 Xpeditor trucks due to a defective engine control module that may cause the engine to stall unexpectedly, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (engine control module failure) that results in an unexpected engine stall, which NHTSA explicitly states can increase the risk of a crash. This aligns with the rubric criterion for 'structural vehicle defect' or 'significant injury/property-damage reports' (implied by crash risk), warranting a score of 4.

Plain-English summary

Autocar, LLC is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Xpeditor vehicles manufactured between March 21, 2016, and April 11, 2016. These vehicles are equipped with a Cummins ISX12 or ISX15 engine using specific engine control modules (ECM). The recall affects 18 units in total.

The defect involves an internal electrical short in the ECM that can cause a fuse to blow. This results in an unexpected engine stall where the driver is unable to restart the engine. NHTSA notes that an engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.

Cummins will notify owners, and Cummins dealers will replace the existing ECM with a new one free of charge. The recall began on July 7, 2016. Owners may contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-343-7357 or Autocar customer service at 1-765-489-5499. Autocar's number for this recall is ACX-1603.
