Recall campaigns 6 of 6

14V1320002014-03-19

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE

The improper operation of the sensor could induce elevated exhaust temperatures or flames from the exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire or burn injury to a person near the exhaust pipe.

13V1830002013-05-08

VISIBILITY/WIPER

Without properly working windshield wipers, the driver's vision could be hindered by precipitation, increasing the risk of a crash.

13V1840002013-05-08

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR

Air tanks with valves omitted will not drain if moisture is introduced into the tank, potentially reducing air capacity in the air brake system, which could cause a reduction in brake performance and equipment durability, thus increasing the risk of a crash.

13V1380002013-04-11

PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL:AIR

Overheated brake components could result in a fire.

12V0830002012-03-02

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY

REDUCED BRAKING ABILITY COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

12V0460002012-02-08

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:CHECK VALVE

UNEXPECTED CONTINUOUS BRAKE APPLICATION CAN CAUSE THE BRAKES TO OVERHEAT AND LEAD TO A FIRE. UNEXPECTED CONTINUOUS BRAKE APPLICATION CAN CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. ALSO, THE BRAKES MAY BE APPLIED WITHOUT ILLUMINATING THE BRAKE LIGHTS, FAILING TO GIVE PROPER WARNING TO OTHER DRIVERS.

This page is about a model, not a car

Two 2012 AUTOCAR ACXs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
