What's wrong?
The power take off, or PTO, on affected 2019-2020 Autocar Xpeditor trucks is equipment that lets the engine power an added body or work attachment while the truck is stopped or moving at low speed. In this recall, the PTO is aftermarket equipment, which means it was added after the truck was built rather than as standard factory equipment. When engaged, the PTO asks the engine to hold steady power for the attached equipment.
The problem occurs when the truck is operated from the right-side stand-up position with the PTO engaged. In that operating mode, the engine can hesitate or stall instead of maintaining steady output. The recall filing does not identify a deeper root cause, so the practical issue for the owner is the loss of steady engine operation during PTO use.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first sign can be the engine hesitation or stall itself while the PTO is engaged from the right-side stand-up controls.
Who's affected?
The same power take off equipment is named for the 2019 and 2020 Xpeditor.

|---|---|
| 2020 Autocar Xpeditor | Equipment |
| Units affected | 46 |
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 stall or hesitation can let the Xpeditor roll backward, increasing the risk of a crash or personal injury. Until the recall work is completed, leave extra space on grades and avoid stopping on steep inclines when practical. Repair will be free at any franchised Autocar dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019-2020 Autocar Xpeditor is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Autocar dealer to ask about the free hill start aide installation that addresses rollback risk after a PTO-related stall or hesitation.
- Bring the recall notice if Autocar mailed one. If not, reference recall number 21V930 when you call.
- Call Autocar customer service at 1-888-218-3611 with questions about scheduling or dealer handling.
- Avoid operating the vehicle from the right-side stand-up position with the PTO engaged until the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
Autocar has not listed the final remedy as open here, so do not treat this as a repair that can be scheduled without confirming first. The known dealer repair is installation of a hill start aide system for the PTO equipped Xpeditor. Once Autocar opens the repair, an Autocar technician installs that system at no cost under the recall. Parts and labor are covered. The notice also lists Autocar customer service for questions about campaign ACX-2107.
