How to check your EXCEL INC truck for known defects
- Find your VIN. Locate the 17-character Vehicle Identification Number on the driver-side door jamb sticker, the lower corner of the windshield on the dash, or the title/registration paperwork. Every EXCEL INC truck has a VIN — older units may have it stamped on the frame rail.
- Check it on TruckCodex at /vin/{your-VIN}/. Paste the VIN into TruckCodex's vehicle lookup. The page returns model year, build plant, every recall campaign that names the VIN's make/model/year window, and any inspection or registration history we have on file.
- Cross-reference NHTSA's official recall search. Run the same VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls for the federal authoritative answer. NHTSA's database updates within 24 hours of a manufacturer filing — TruckCodex mirrors it daily, but the federal lookup is the legal record.
- Contact your dealer or EXCEL INC customer service for clarification. If a recall hits your VIN, the dealer is required to perform the remedy at no charge. Schedule the appointment promptly — manufacturers track outstanding recall completion rates publicly, and an unfixed recall affects resale value and (for fleets) DOT inspection outcomes.
- Document any work performed in case of resale. Keep dealer invoices, recall completion notices, and any out-of-pocket reimbursement requests on file. A buyer's first question on a used heavy truck is whether outstanding recalls have been remedied — clean documentation closes deals faster.

Where do I report a defect with my EXCEL INC truck? ▾
Report safety defects directly to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem (toll-free: 1-888-327-4236). NHTSA aggregates owner complaints into the same investigation pipeline that drives recalls — your report counts. Also notify your dealer and EXCEL INC customer service so the manufacturer's internal field-service database has the record. Keep written documentation: dates, mileage, symptoms, repair attempts.
What's the difference between a recall and a service campaign? ▾
A recall is a NHTSA-mandated remedy for a safety defect or non-compliance with a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard — it's required, free to the owner, and tracked permanently by VIN. A service campaign (sometimes called a "customer satisfaction program" or "TSB-driven update") is a manufacturer-initiated repair that typically addresses durability, comfort, or non-safety performance issues; it's optional, may have a labor charge after warranty, and is not tracked in NHTSA's recall database. The Manufacturer Communications section above lists service campaigns and TSBs separately from formal recalls.
