There are five recalls affecting the 2020 AUTOCAR XSPOTTER, touching on tire labels, air brake systems, parking brakes, and exterior lighting. These recalls address safety compliance and potential operational hazards requiring dealer intervention or label corrections.

• Tire inflation labels. NHTSA recall number 25V451000 affects 195 vehicles. The tire inflation information label is incorrect, violating FMVSS 110. Incorrect labels risk underinflated tires which increase crash risk. Autocar will mail corrected labels at no charge. Owner notification letters were sent August 29, 2025.
• Air brake system tanks. Recall 25V449000 impacts 49 vehicles. The air tanks hold insufficient volume for the brake system, failing FMVSS 121 compliance. This reduces brake effectiveness and increases stopping distances, raising crash risk. Dealers will inspect and replace or add air tanks free of charge. Two owner notifications were issued in August and will be followed by a second once parts are ready.
• Parking brake control valve. Recall 23V023000 covers 11,353 vehicles including 2010-2020 Xspotters. A worn valve leaks air into the vent line causing excess back pressure and possible unexpected parking brake release. This may lead to vehicle rollaway and crash risk. Dealers will remove the vent line and fitting at no cost. Owner notifications were mailed March 23, 2023.
• Headlight relay disconnect. Recall 19V922000 affects 3,448 vehicles from 2015 to 2020 models. The headlamp relay can disconnect from the fuse box causing headlights to shut off, leading to reduced visibility and crash risk. Dealers will install a fuse box relay retainer free of charge. Owner interim notifications were issued February 2020 with the recall beginning in August 2020.
• Electrical system fault. Included in recall 19V922000, also impacting 3,448 vehicles, addresses the same headlamp relay issue as above. The defect risks headlight failure and reduced visibility. The fix is a fuse box relay retainer installation performed at no charge by dealers.
