Seven recalls have been issued for the 2019 AUTOCAR XSPOTTER affecting brake systems, lighting, labels, and transmission components. These recalls involve safety risks such as brake failure, unexpected parking brake release, headlamp disconnection, and incorrect tire inflation information.
Recalls- Incorrect tire inflation labels. Recall 25V451000 affects 195 vehicles due to incorrect tire inflation labels that do not meet FMVSS 110 requirements. Underinflated tires increase crash risk. Autocar will mail corrected labels free of charge.
- Insufficient air brake tanks. Recall 25V449000 covers 49 vehicles with air tanks that do not provide enough air volume for the brake system, violating FMVSS 121. This can reduce braking ability and increase stopping distance. Dealers will inspect and replace or add tanks at no cost. Owners will be notified when parts are available.
- Parking brake valve leaks. Recall 23V023000 affects 11,353 vehicles with worn parking brake control valves that leak air, causing the parking brake to release unexpectedly. This increases the risk of vehicle rollaway. Dealers will remove the vent line and fitting free of charge.
- Shift pad display failure. Recall 19V923000 covers 156 vehicles where shift pad placement may cause failure to display transmission range or sequence, violating FMVSS 102. This risks operator confusion and crash injury. Dealers will relocate the shift pad free of charge.
- Headlamp relay disconnection. Recall 19V922000 affects 3,448 vehicles where the headlamp relay may disconnect from the fuse box, causing headlights to shut off and reduce visibility. Dealers will install a fuse box relay retainer at no charge.
- Electrical system defect. Recall 19V922000 also covers electrical system issues related to headlamp relay disconnection with similar risks and remedies as above. This recall overlaps with the lighting recall for the same vehicles.
- Brake pedal mounting plate defect. Recall 18V558000 includes 297 vehicles with brake pedal mounting plates possibly welded incorrectly, risking brake pedal disconnection and inability to apply brakes. Dealers will replace the mounting plate free of charge.
Owners facing repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues involving brake systems, electrical components, or transmission controls may want to explore their rights under their state lemon laws.
