What's wrong?
The pressure switch on 2016-2023 Autocar Legend and Xpeditor trucks is part of the instrument warning system. It monitors air pressure and sends a signal to the instrument cluster, where the park brake telltale is supposed to give the driver a clear warning about the parking brake system.
On affected trucks, Autocar says an internal process error left the vehicle with a suspect pressure switch. During an air loss event, the switch can cause the park brake warning light to illuminate in error. The repair replaces that switch with a lower pressure switch so the warning display matches the condition it is meant to report.
What you can notice is the light behavior itself. During an air loss event below 70 PSI, the park brake telltale can illuminate even though that specific warning is not the correct signal for the condition.

What's the safety risk?
A park brake warning light that turns on in error during low air pressure can mislead the driver and increase the risk of a crash. Treat the warning as a reason to slow down, stop in a safe place, and ask the dealer about repair timing. Repair will be free at any franchised Autocar dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2016-2023 Autocar Legend or Xpeditor is included in this recall.
- Wait for Autocar's repair instructions for your VIN before scheduling the free pressure-switch replacement that fixes the incorrect park-brake warning light.
- Call Autocar customer service at 1-888-218-3611 with questions, and reference recall number 23V400 when you call.
- Keep the owner letter with your truck records and bring it when Autocar confirms the dealer repair is ready.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete, especially after an air loss event or any confusing park-brake warning light.
What happens at the repair
Autocar has identified the dealer repair as a pressure switch replacement. Because Autocar has not listed the final remedy as available, do not treat the repair as open for scheduling until Autocar confirms availability for your VIN. Once it opens, an Autocar technician will replace the pressure switch, and parts and labor are covered under the recall. Autocar uses its standard reimbursement plan for this campaign. If you already paid for a related pressure switch repair, keep the invoice and repair paperwork so the service desk or Autocar customer service can review documented expenses.
