What's wrong?
The wiring harness on 2020-2024 Autocar Legend trucks is the routed bundle of wires that carries electrical power through the vehicle. Within that harness, fusible links are short protective sections designed to open the circuit if too much current flows. Their job is to keep an electrical problem from traveling farther through the harness.
On affected Legend trucks, a manufacturing error placed those fusible links too close to nearby consumable components. The recall filing says the routing was wrong, not that the basic harness design was different across all trucks. When protective wiring is routed in the wrong spot, the circuit protection is not where Autocar intended it to be. Autocar's repair is to repair or replace the suspect harness so the circuit protection is correctly placed.
There is no warning sign before failure. Autocar's chronology says the reported events happened during manufacturing, and the company reported no known cases or claims from owners at the time of the recall decision.
