Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Xos, Inc. is recalling 260 of its 2021 RM01, 2021 SA01, and 2021-2022 SV05 vehicles because the brake lines may be the wrong length and were routed incorrectly during manufacturing. This defect can lead to a brake fluid leak, which reduces the vehicle's ability to stop quickly. Owners of these specific electric commercial vehicles should contact Xos to arrange for a free repair to ensure their braking system remains functional.

Risk

A brake fluid leak will cause a loss of hydraulic pressure in the braking system, leading to significantly longer stopping distances. This increased distance increases the likelihood of a crash, especially in emergency stopping situations.

What You Should Do

  1. Confirm if your vehicle is affected by checking your model and year: this recall includes 2021 RM01, 2021 SA01, and 2021-2022 SV05 vehicles.
  2. Contact Xos customer service at 855-909-4407 to verify your vehicle's inclusion and schedule a service appointment.
  3. Take your vehicle to an authorized dealer to have the brake lines replaced with correctly sized and routed components at no cost to you.
  4. For additional information or to check your VIN, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
