Autocar, LLC \(Autocar\) is recalling certain model year 2011\-2016 Xpeditor vehicles manufactured October 12, 2010, to May 4, 2015.

If the operator inadvertently or erroneously attempts to release the park brake without first firmly applying the service brake, the park brake will subsequently engage, at any speed and likely unexpectedly to the operator. Built 2010\-10\-12 to 2015\-05\-12.
- [15V280000](/recalls/nhtsa/15V280000.md), 2015-05-13: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE. Autocar, LLC \(Autocar\) is recalling certain model year 2008\-2016 Xpeditor vehicles manufactured July 30, 2007, to April 29, 2015.  Excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90\-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, possibly allowing engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces. Built 2007\-07\-30 to 2015\-04\-29.
- [12V588000](/recalls/nhtsa/12V588000.md), 2012-12-17: WHEELS.

The vehicles are equipped with Hayes Lemmerz manufactured, model 90262, steel wheels.  Due to an inadequate weld between the wheel disc and rim, the disc can separate from the rim. Built 2012\-03\-13 to 2012\-11\-29.
- [12V472000](/recalls/nhtsa/12V472000.md), 2012-09-27: BACK OVER PREVENTION:WARNINGS:EXTERNAL/PEDESTRIAN ALERT; EQUIPMENT. Autocar, LLC \(Autocar\) is recalling certain model year 2010\-2013 Xpeditor heavy\-duty class 8 vehicles, manufactured from September 10, 2010, through September 10, 2012, equipped with a vehicle rearward rollaway alarm.  The motion sensor for the alarm may not have been installed correctly and the alarm may fail to sound when the vehicle is out of gear and in a rearward rollaway situation. Built 2010\-09\-10 to 2012\-09\-10.
- [12V394000](/recalls/nhtsa/12V394000.md), 2012-08-13: SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR. Autocar is recalling certain model year 2008\-2012 Xpeditor heavy\-duty class 8 vehicles, manufactured from December 17, 2007, through July 10, 2012 and equipped with a right\-hand \(passenger\-side\) Bostrom air\-ride seat.  The seatbelt and tether intermediate connection point \(ICP\) located on the seat bracket may interfere with the seatbelt retractor mechanism as the seat is pneumatically adjusted for height.  Over time, the interference may cause the retractor mechanism cover to crack, allowing the retractor spring to become loose and inoperable.  Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208, "Occupant Crash Protection." Built 2007\-12\-17 to 2012\-07\-10.

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

- [2012432](/recalls/tc/2012432.md), 2012-12-17: Wheels. On certain vehicles, the wheel rims may have been manufactured incorrectly and could fail.  A wheel separating from the vehicle could cause a loss of control and a crash.  In addition, the errant wheel assembly could strike a vehicle, stationary object, or a bystander.  These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the wheel rims.  Note: Further evaluation revealed that no Canadian vehicles are involved.
- [2012294](/recalls/tc/2012294.md), 2012-08-30: Seats And Restraints. On certain trucks equipped with a right\-hand \(passenger\-side\) Bostrom air\-ride seat, the seat bracket intermediate connection point may interfere with the seatbelt retractor mechanism.  This could cause the retractor cover to crack, allowing the retractor spring to become loose and inoperable.  Failure of the seatbelt to restrain the seat occupant as intended would increase the risk of personal injury during a crash.  Correction: Dealers will replace the seat bracket with an updated version, and install a new passenger side seatbelt retractor mechanism.
