Recall 95V-020: 1994 Oshkosh VC26RD, 1994 Oshkosh VC26RR and 2 more
OSHKOSH TRUCK CORPORATION recall for service brakes, air, reported to NHTSA on Feb 9, 1995, covering about 22 vehicles.
The problem
Air compressor governor sensing line does not sense both front and rear brake system reservoir pressure. A front brake system air leak will not be sensed by the governor and the compressor will fail to resupply the front air system causing a reduction of the front brake system performance.
The risk
This condition can cause loss of braking capability and increase the potential for a vehicle accident.
The fix
Dealers will relocate the one way check valve in the inlet air line to the rear service tank and a pressure protection valve will be added to allow the governor to sense both front and rear brake system reservoir pressure.
