What's wrong?
The 2024 Autocar E-Actt uses traction motors to turn electrical power from the traction battery into movement. The power inverter controls that electrical power so the motors receive the right output while the terminal tractor is operating. The battery cable connections at those parts have to stay tight so power flows through the intended contact points.
On the recalled unit, a manufacturing error left the traction motor and power inverter battery cable connections not properly secured. A loose connection does not carry current as designed. It can shift under normal vibration, interrupt power flow, and leave the propulsion system depending on a connection that was not fastened correctly.
There is no warning sign before failure. The source filing lists no owner-noticeable symptom, so an affected owner should not wait for a sound, warning light, or change in driving feel before having the connections inspected and secured.

What happens at the repair
Autocar has already completed the recall work on the affected 2024 E-Actt. At the dealer, an Autocar technician inspected the battery cable connections at the traction motors and power inverter, then secured any loose connections. The inspection and repair were free under the recall, and Autocar says all vehicles were repaired by February 4, 2026. Autocar used its general reimbursement plan for this campaign. If you already paid for this same cable-connection repair before the recall work was completed, contact Autocar customer service with documentation and ask how that plan applies.
