## What is wrong

Autocar, LLC \(Autocar\) is recalling certain 2020\-2021 Xpeditor vehicles equipped with X12N engines.  The engine ground cable is too short and may fail.

Owner notification letters were mailed on April 5, 2022.  Owners can contact Autocar customer service at  1\-888\-218\-3611 or 1\-877\-973\-3486.  Autocar's number for this recall is ACX\-2007.
