What's wrong?
The hydraulic power steering pump on 2019-2020 Autocar Xpeditor trucks supplies the pressure that helps the steering system turn the front wheels. When it is mounted securely, the pump stays aligned with the engine and keeps steering effort manageable, especially at low speed or during tight maneuvering.
On affected trucks, the power steering pump was installed outside a controlled process during a parts shortage at the factory. The mounting bolts can loosen over time. As the bolts back out, the pump can shift from its mounting position and disconnect, which reduces steering assist and makes the truck harder to steer.
The warning sign listed for owners is an engine oil leak. If you see oil under the truck or fresh oil around the engine area, that is the sign to have the pump mounting checked instead of treating it as routine leakage.
Who's affected?
The power steering system is the common component across both listed model years.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
A disconnected power steering pump can suddenly make the vehicle much harder to steer, leading to loss of vehicle control and increasing crash risk. If you see an engine oil leak, schedule service promptly and drive cautiously until inspected. Repair is free at any franchised Autocar dealer.
