What's wrong?
The cab tilt hinge pin on 2023-2024 Autocar Xpeditor trucks is part of the structure that lets the cab tilt forward for service access. The retaining ring is the small fastener that locks that hinge pin in place, so the pin stays secured while the cab is closed, tilted, or returned to its operating position.
On affected trucks, an Autocar manufacturing error left the retaining ring off the cab tilt hinge pin. Without that ring, the hinge pin is unsecured and can move out of position instead of staying locked in the hinge. The dealer repair is to inspect the pin and secure it or replace it at no charge to the owner.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not expect a light, noise, or visible change from the driver's seat before the missing retaining ring lets the pin move.
Who's affected?
Both model years use the same cab tilt hinge pin retaining ring called out in the recall.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Autocar technician inspects the cab tilt hinge pin and checks whether the retaining ring is in place. If the retaining ring is missing or not seated correctly, the technician replaces it so the cab tilt pin is secured. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor. Autocar uses its standard reimbursement plan for this campaign. If you already paid out of pocket for a related cab tilt hinge pin or retaining ring repair, bring documentation to the service desk and ask how to submit the claim.
