What was wrong

Defect

Autocar, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain 2017 Xpeditor vehicles, equipped with certain Dana Spicer D-Series and E-Series steer axles. The castellated nut on the steer axles may not be properly torqued, allowing the tie rod to loosen.

Risk

If the tie rod loosens, it may disconnect from the steering knuckle, causing a complete loss of steering and increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Autocar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the torque of the castellated nut and tie rod, tightening it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on September 20, 2017. Owners may contact Autocar customer service at 1-888-218-3611. Autocar's number for this recall is ACX-1703.
