What's wrong?
The Automatic Emergency Braking system on 2025-2026 Autocar Xpeditor vehicles is part of the forward collision avoidance system. Its software monitors driving conditions and helps the truck slow or brake when the system detects a forward crash risk. The system depends on the correct software staying active while the vehicle is moving.
On affected Xpeditor trucks, the installed software has an error tied to turning. When the vehicle turns, the Automatic Emergency Braking system unexpectedly shuts off instead of staying ready. Autocar traced the problem to suspect software and says the fix is to reprogram that software at no charge.
Owners have a warning sign before the system turns back on. The AEBS displays a fault while the vehicle is moving during a turn, then reactivates when the wheels are straight.

What's the safety risk?
The loss of AEB removes automatic emergency braking assistance and increases the risk of a crash. If the AEBS displays a fault while the vehicle is moving during a turn, slow down, leave extra following distance, and schedule the software update. Repair is free at any franchised Autocar dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025-2026 Autocar Xpeditor is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Autocar dealer to schedule the free AEB software update that fixes the braking-assist shutdown during turns.
- Bring the recall notice if Autocar has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 25V746 when you call.
- Drive with extra following distance and avoid relying on AEB until the software update is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Autocar technician updates the Automatic Emergency Braking software so the system stays active during turns. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. Autocar used its standard reimbursement plan for this campaign, so documented out-of-pocket repairs tied to this AEB software issue are handled through that plan. Bring prior repair paperwork to the service desk, or contact Autocar customer service if the dealer needs claim instructions.
