## What is wrong

Autocar, LLC \(Autocar\) is recalling certain 2014\-2018 Xpeditor vehicles equipped with a factory installed methane detection system.  The circuit protection for the methane detector may be inadequate, and the harness may be improperly routed.


## What can happen

In the event that the wiring harness carries excessive current, the harness may overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.


## The remedy

Autocar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ten amp fuse with a three amp fuse, free of charge.  The recall began on April 13, 2018.  Owners may contact Autocar customer service at 1\-888\-218\-3611 or 1\-877\-973\-3486.  Autocar's number for this recall is ACX\-1801.
