Autocar, LLC is recalling 236 of its 2022 ACX (Xpeditor) trucks because the tie rod clamps may have been improperly heat-treated during manufacturing. This defect can cause the clamps to break, which allows the tie rods to separate and leads to a sudden loss of steering control. Autocar dealers will replace the affected tie rod clamps with new ones at no cost to the owner.
If the tie rod clamps fail, the tie rods can separate from the steering system, causing the driver to lose the ability to steer the vehicle. This sudden loss of steering control significantly increases the risk of a crash.
Dealers will replace the tie rod clamps free of charge.
