Plain-English summary

Autocar, LLC is recalling certain 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 Xpeditor commercial vehicles. The external sun visor on affected vehicles may obstruct the roof-mounted clearance lights.

The obstruction causes these vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, which establishes requirements for lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment. An obstructed view of the clearance lights may increase the risk of a crash.

Owners should have their vehicles repaired at an authorized Autocar dealer. Autocar began notifying owners by letter on December 20, 2023. Owners may contact Autocar customer service at 1-888-218-3611 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 for more information.
