Autocar, LLC is recalling 39 of its 2022-2023 DC (Legend) vehicles because the steering column shaft may not have been properly welded. This manufacturing defect can lead to the steering shaft separating while the vehicle is in motion, which would result in a sudden and complete loss of steering control. While all known affected vehicles were reported as repaired by July 2023, owners should verify their vehicle's status to ensure safety. Dealers will inspect and replace the steering column shaft at no cost to the owner.
If the weld on the steering column shaft fails, the shaft can separate from the steering system. This causes an immediate loss of steering control, which significantly increases the risk of a crash.
Free inspection and replacement of the steering column shaft.
