Autocar, LLC: Exterior Lighting › Hazard Flashing Warning Lights › Switch
Autocar, LLC reported this defect to federal regulators on Apr 11, 2024 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 398. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Autocar, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain 2020-2024 DC (Legend) vehicles. The hazard warning lights may not function independent of the ignition switch. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
The risk
Warning lights that do not illuminate when the ignition switch is in the OFF position can reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Dealers will update the software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 6, 2024. Owners may contact Autocar customer service at 1-888-218-3611. Autocar's number for this recall is DC-2402.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 24V262000.
