## United States (NHTSA), as of 2026-10-19

- [23V023000](/recalls/nhtsa/23V023000.md), 2023-01-23: PARKING BRAKE. Autocar, LLC \(Autocar\) is recalling certain 2012\-2016 Xpert, 2010\-2020 Xspotter, 2008\-2020 Xpeditor, 2008\-2010 WXLL and WX vehicles.  A worn parking brake control valve can leak air into the vent line, creating excessive back pressure and causing the parking brake to release unexpectedly.
- [14V132000](/recalls/nhtsa/14V132000.md), 2014-03-19: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE. Autocar, LLC \(Autocar\) is recalling certain model year 2008\-2014 ACX, WX, and WXLL vehicles manufactured July 30, 2007, through February 10, 2014, and equipped with certain Cummins Westport Model ISL G or ISX12 G engines.  Condensation in the intake manifold may freeze during cold weather conditions and interfere with the proper operation of the intake manifold pressure sensor. Built 2007\-07\-30 to 2014\-02\-10.
- [13V184000](/recalls/nhtsa/13V184000.md), 2013-05-08: SERVICE BRAKES, AIR. Autocar, LLC is recalling certain model year 2005\-2013 ACX, WX, and WXLL trucks built November 16, 2004, through September 10, 2012.  On the affected vehicles, the air brake systems were built without the required air tank drain valve.  Therefore, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) No. 121, "Air Brake Systems." Built 2004\-11\-16 to 2012\-09\-10.
- [10V305000](/recalls/nhtsa/10V305000.md), 2010-06-28: FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY. MCNEILUS IS RECALLING CERTAIN TRUCKS BUILT ON AUTOCAR CHASSIS.  DURING THE REFUSE BODY MOUNTING PROCESS, CHASSIS AIR TANKS MAY BE RELOCATED TO FACILITATE MOUNTING OF THE BODY. AIRLINES TO THE AIR HOLDBACK VALVE MAY HAVE BEEN RECONNECTED INCORRECTLY AFTER A TANK\(S\) WAS RELOCATED. Built 2002\-08\-02 to 2010\-04\-30.
- [09V167000](/recalls/nhtsa/09V167000.md), 2009-05-19: PARKING BRAKE. AUTOCAR IS RECALLING 183 MY 2008\-2009 WXLL HEAVY DUTY CLASS 8 VEHICLES.  THE PARK BRAKE BUTTON ON THE RIGHT\-HAND SIDE OF THE VEHICLE SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY SET THE PARK BRAKE AT 70\-PSI DESCENDING PRESSURE ON THE PRIMARY AIR SYSTEM WHEN THE WORK BRAKE IS APPLIED.  IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE PARK BRAKES DO NOT APPLY AUTOMATICALLY AT 70\-PSI; INSTEAD, THEY APPLY AT 10\-PSI.  THE LINES BETWEEN THE PARK BRAKE VALVES MAY BE CROSSED, CAUSING THEM TO APPLY INCORRECTLY. Built 2008\-08\-24 to 2009\-04\-14.
- [09V060000](/recalls/nhtsa/09V060000.md), 2009-02-19: PARKING BRAKE:DRIVELINE:AIR. AUTOCAR IS RECALLING 690 MY 2008\-2009 ACX, WX AND WXLL HEAVY DUTY CLASS 8 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH QUICK RELEASE VALVES \(QRV\).  THERE ARE QRV'S IN TWO AREAS OF THE VEHICLE.  THE FIRST IS IN THE LIFT AXLE AIR LINES.  A LEAK IN THAT QRV WOULD AFFECT THE RATE AT WHICH THE TAG/PUSHER AXLE IS LOWERED/LIFTED.  THE SECOND IS IN THE PARK BRAKE AIR LINES.  A LEAK IN THAT QRV WOULD RELEASE PRESSURE ON THE PARK BRAKE SPRINGS; IF THE LEAD IS LARGE ENOUGH, THE PRESSURE WILL DROP AND SET THE BRAKES ON THE REAR AXLE. Built 2008\-06\-11 to 2008\-11\-17.
- [08V566000](/recalls/nhtsa/08V566000.md), 2008-10-28: STEERING:GEAR BOX:SHAFT SECTOR. AUTOCAR IS RECALLING 127 MY 2008\-2009 ACX, WX, AND WXLL HEAVY DUTY CLASS 8 TRUCKS.  INSUFFICIENT TORQUE WAS APPLIED DURING THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS TO THE NUT ON THE PINCH BOLT THAT SECURES THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT TO THE STEERING GEAR BOX.  IT WAS FOUND THAT THE TORQUE CONTROLLED TOOL WAS CALIBRATED TO A LOWER TORQUE RATING THAN SPECIFIED FOR THE APPLICATION. Built 2008\-08\-12 to 2008\-10\-10.
- [08V447000](/recalls/nhtsa/08V447000.md), 2008-09-03: STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS. AUTOCAR IS RECALLING 770 MY 2007\-2009 WXLL HEAVY DUTY CLASS 8 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH RESIDENTIAL FRONT\-LOADER APPLICATIONS.  THESE VEHICLES MAY DEVELOP CRACKS MAINLY IN THE TOP FLANGE OF THE RH EXTENSION OF THE FRAME RAIL AT THE FRONT SPLAY BREAK WHERE THE RE\-ENFORCING STRAPS ARE WELDED.  DURING FRONT\-LOADER OPERATION, RESIDUAL HYDRAULIC PRESSURE CAUSES THE FRONT LOADER SYSTEM TO PUSH DOWN ON THE BUMPER\-MOUNTED BRACKETS, CAUSING VISIBLE DEFLECTION OF THE CHASSIS FROM THE SUSPENSION FRONT HANGER BRACKET FORWARD. Built 2007\-05\-27 to 2008\-09\-12.
- [07V513000](/recalls/nhtsa/07V513000.md), 2007-11-02: EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS. CERTAIN TRUCKS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF PART 568, 'VEHICLES MANUFACTURED IN TWO OR MORE STAGES, ALL INCOMPLETE, INTERMEDIATE AND FINAL\-STAGE MANUFACTURERS OF VEHICLES MANUFACTURED IN TWO OR MORE STAGES.'  THE GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING \(GVWR\) LABEL, AS APPLIED, MAY NOT BE ACCURATE.  THE GVWR LABEL MAY INDICATE THAT THE VEHICLE'S LOAD CAPACITY IS HIGHER THAN THE DESIGNED WEIGHT RATING. Built 2007\-07\-13 to 2007\-09\-28.
- [07V290000](/recalls/nhtsa/07V290000.md), 2007-07-05: PARKING BRAKE. ON CERTAIN HEAVY DUTY CLASS 8 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH BENDIX SR\-7 SPRING BRAKE MODULATING VALVES, THE INTERNAL RUBBER CHECK VALVE MAY LEAK CAUSING A DELAY IN THE APPLICATION OF THE SPRING BRAKES TO PARK THE VEHICLE AFTER THE OPERATOR PULLS THE DASH VALVE BUTTON. Built 2006\-02\-24 to 2007\-06\-09.

## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2009063](/recalls/tc/2009063.md), 2009-02-27: Brakes. On certain vehicles, a leak in one or both Quick Release Valves \(QRV\) could occur.  The first QRV is located in the lift axle air lines.  A leak in that QRV would affect the rate at which the tag/pusher axle is lowered/lifted.  A catastrophic failure of the QRV would result in a rapid drop of a raised tag axle, which could cause serious injury or death to a person working under or near the axle.  The second QRV is in the park brake air lines.  A leak would release pressure on the park brake springs; if the leak is large enough, the pressure would drop and set the brakes on the rear axle, which could result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash, causing property damage, personal injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the quick release valves.
- [2008451](/recalls/tc/2008451.md), 2008-12-19: Steering. On certain vehicles, the lower steering shaft pinch bolt may not have received adequate tightening torque during vehicle assembly.  As a result, the steering shaft may separate from the steering gear.  This could cause a sudden loss of steering control, resulting in a vehicle crash causing personal injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will tighten the steering shaft pinch bolt.
- [2007355](/recalls/tc/2007355.md), 2007-11-06: Label. On certain trucks, the certification label does not contain the correct Gross Vehicle Weight Rating \(GVWR\).  The label may indicate that the vehicle's load capacity is higher than the designed weight rating.  As a result, the vehicle could be overloaded without the operator's knowledge.  A vehicle in an overloaded condition may be susceptible to component failure that may result in loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.  Correction: Dealers will install updated labels.
