The wording we hold for 12V588 · how the whole register is watched
This was filed with the regulator 5,022 days ago and the register carries no date for the letter to owners. At that distance the blank is far more likely to be a gap in the record than a letter never posted, so it is counted apart from the recent ones: where this maker stands on the sixty days.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Autocar Xpeditor, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
