DEFECT #1 - SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR


Posted on: 2012-08-13
Description
Autocar is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 xpeditor heavy-duty class 8 vehicles, manufactured from december 17, 2007, through july 10, 2012 and equipped with a right-hand (passenger-side) bostrom air-ride seat.  The seatbelt and tether intermediate connection point (icp) located on the seat bracket may interfere with the seatbelt retractor mechanism as the seat is pneumatically adjusted for height.  Over time, the interference may cause the retractor mechanism cover to crack, allowing the retractor spring to become loose and inoperable.  Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no.  208, occupant crash protection.  

Consequence
In the event of a crash, if the seat belt retractor malfunctions, the passenger may not be properly restrained, increasing the risk of personal injury or death.  

Corrective Action
Autocar will notify owners and provide instructions for scheduling the vehicle repair, free of charge.  The recall began on november 13, 2012.  Owners may contact autocar service department at 1-888-218-3611.  

Notes
Autocar's recall number is a-1202.customers may contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty: 1-800-424-9153); or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Description
Autocar, llc (autocar) is recalling certain model year 2008-2016 xpeditor vehicles manufactured july 30, 2007, to april 29, 2015.  Excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, possibly allowing engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces.

Consequence
If the engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, it can increase the risk of a vehicle fire.

Corrective Action
Cummins will notify owners on behalf of autocar, and cummins service centers will administer the repairs which include securing the ends of the 90-degree elbow and reprogramming the electronic control module (ecm) with software that can adjust the engine output under misfire conditions to limit crankcase pressures.  These repairs will be performed free of charge.  The recall began on june 16, 2015.  Owners may contact autocar customer service at 1-765-489-5499 or cummins inc.  At 1-800-343-7357.  Autocar's number for this recall is acx-1503.
