Plain-English summary

Autocar, LLC is recalling certain 2016-2019 Xspotter vehicles. The recall involves 156 vehicles. The issue is due to the placement of the shift pad, which may fail and not display the transmission range or sequence. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 102, "Transmission Shift Lever Sequence/Starter Interlock/Transmission Braking Effect."

If the shift pad display fails, the operator will not know the transmission range or sequence information, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
