What's wrong?
The external fuse box on a 2019-2022 Autocar Xpeditor truck houses fuses and circuit breakers for electrical circuits. Fuses protect wiring by breaking the circuit when too much current flows. The box needs to keep those connections dry so power flows only where it is supposed to go.
On affected Xpeditor trucks, the external fuse box was mounted horizontally. In that position, water can enter the box instead of draining away. Water inside the box can create a short circuit across the fuse and breaker connections, which can interrupt electrical power and stall the truck.
There is no warning sign before failure. The recall filing lists no owner symptom before the fuse box shorts, so the truck can be operating normally until water intrusion causes the electrical problem. Autocar's fix is to remount the external fuse box vertically and add a shield, matching the updated production setup.
