What was wrong

Defect

Autocar, LLC is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Xpeditor vehicles manufactured March 13, 2012, through November 29, 2012; and with serial numbers in the range 214008 through 215308. The vehicles are equipped with Hayes Lemmerz manufactured, model 90262, steel wheels. Due to an inadequate weld between the wheel disc and rim, the disc can separate from the rim.

Risk

Separation of the rim and tire from the vehicle can result in a loss of control and a vehicle crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Autocar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the wheels, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on February 12, 2013. Owners may contact Autocar at 1-765-489-5499.
