Recall 08V236000 · manufacturer campaign A-0802

What's wrong

AUTOCAR IS RECALLING 7 MY 2008 ACX CHASSIS ASSEMBLIES WHICH WERE SOLD TO GROVE U.S. LLC. GROVE CONVERTS THESE CHASSIS INTO CRANES. THE TELESCOPIC STEERING SHAFT BETWEEN THE IN-CAB TILT STEER GEARBOX COMPONENTS AND THE FLOOR-MOUNTED STEERING GEARBOX IS TOO LONG, AND ONE OF THE PINCH BOLTS ON THE SHAFT MAY NOT BE SECURED PROPERLY.

The risk

INSUFFICIENT TORQUE ON THE FASTENER THAT CLAMPS THE ASSEMBLIES TOGETHER COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

The fix

AUTOCAR IS WORKING WITH GROVE TO HAVE THE CHASSIS INSPECTED AND WILL REPLACE THE NECESSARY COMPONENTS FREE OF CHARGE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT AUTOCAR AT 1-765-489-6001.

AUTOCAR RECALL NO. A-0802.CUSTOMERS MAY ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), OR GO TO HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV.

Vehicles covered by this recall

Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Is this car's recall fixed?

Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
