What's wrong?
The external fuse box on 2020-2022 Autocar Xpeditor vehicles holds fuses and circuit breakers for parts of the truck's electrical system. A fuse box is supposed to keep each electrical circuit protected, so a fault in one circuit does not spread through the wiring. It also needs to stay dry, because water and electrical contacts do not belong together.
On affected Xpeditor vehicles, the external fuse box was mounted horizontally. That position allowed water to enter the box instead of shedding away from it. When water reaches the fuses or terminals, it can create a short circuit. Autocar linked the condition to stalls during its investigation, and the recall repair changes the installation by remounting the box vertically and adding a shield to match current production.
There is no warning sign before failure. The truck can run normally until water reaches the fuse box and causes an electrical short or stall.

The scope spans the 2020, 2021, and 2022 model years, with wiring tied to the Autocar fuse box listed for each.
