Recall 94V-048: 1990–1994 Oshkosh Super-Slider
OSHKOSH TRUCK CORPORATION recall for exterior lighting, reported to NHTSA on Mar 11, 1994, covering about 160 vehicles.
The problem
The electrical wiring harness does not always insure a positive ground between the self-grounding seven way receptacle and the rear light assemblies through the sliding running gear frame. Vibration from vehicle operation causes intermittent loss of an electrical ground to the rear frame.
The risk
The intermittent loss of electrical ground causes flickering of the rear lights.
The fix
A grounding wire will be added to these vehicles.
