What NHTSA recorded

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.

Possible consequence

Insufficient torque on the fastener that clamps the assemblies together could result in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

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.
