What's wrong?
The hazard light software in 2019-2022 Autocar Xpeditor vehicles controls the flashing warning lights used when the truck is stopped, disabled, or creating a road hazard. Those lights are supposed to work even when the ignition is turned off, so other drivers can see the truck while it is parked or waiting for service.
On affected Xpeditor trucks, a programming error from manufacturing ties the hazard light function to the ignition state. When the ignition is off, the software disables the hazard lights instead of letting them operate independently. The repair changes the programming so the hazard lights work apart from the ignition, as they are supposed to.
The warning sign is straightforward: with the ignition off, the hazard lamps do not flash when selected. If the lights work with the ignition on but stop working after the truck is shut down, that matches the defect described in this recall.
Who's affected?
Covers four Xpeditor model years, all tied to the same hazard flashing warning light software.

What's the safety risk?
Disabled hazard lighting can make the vehicle harder to see in a hazard situation, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. The warning sign is direct: the hazard lamps will not work when the ignition is off. Schedule the software reprogramming soon. Repair is free at any franchised Autocar dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019-2022 Autocar Xpeditor is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Autocar dealer to schedule the free hazard-lighting software update that restores hazard lights with the ignition off.
- Bring the recall notice if Autocar mailed one. If not, reference recall number 21V867 when you call.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Autocar technician reprograms the hazard lighting software so the hazard lights work when the ignition is turned off. The software update and labor are free under the recall. If you already paid out of pocket for a related hazard lighting repair before the recall notice, Autocar's standard reimbursement plan covers documented expenses. Bring repair invoices and payment records to the service desk when you schedule or arrive for the recall work.
