What is wrong
Autocar, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain 2013-2016 Xpeditor vehicles equipped with auxiliary axles and 36/36 rear brake chambers. Over-braking can cause excessive vibration and cause the S-cam tube bolts to become loose and allow the brakes to unexpectedly engage.
What can happen
Brakes that engage unexpectedly can increase the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Autocar will contact owners and dealers will change the rear brake chambers and the S-cam brackets, free of charge. The recall began on March 17, 2017. Owners may contact Autocar customer service at 1-765-489-5499. Autocar's number for this recall is ACX-1701.
