What's wrong?
The driveline center support bearing on the 2023 Autocar Xpeditor and Legend helps hold the driveshaft in position between the transmission and the driven axle. The driveshaft carries engine power through the powertrain, and the center support bearing keeps that rotating shaft aligned so it can spin without excess movement.
On the affected trucks, the bearing hardware was not properly secured during assembly. Loose fasteners let the support bearing move from its intended position, which can create driveline vibration and put extra stress on nearby driveline parts. Autocar found the issue during inspection, and the repair is to inspect the fasteners, then secure or replace them at no charge.
The warning sign listed for this recall is driveline vibration. If the truck starts vibrating from the driveline area, especially under power, treat that as a sign to have the center support bearing hardware checked.
