2018 Oshkosh S-Series recalls
Recall 19V-486: Steering
Problem: Oshkosh Corporation (Oshkosh) is recalling certain 2018-2019 S-Series Mixer vehicles equipped with Cummins X12 engines with two hydraulic lines. The hydraulic hoses may have been unintentionally switched and installed to the wrong location, which can cause a loss of hydraulic assist steering.
Risk: Loss of hydraulic assist steering may make it difficult to steer the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Oshkosh will notify owners, and Oshkosh S-Series Service will correct any improperly installed hoses, free of charge. The recall began August 12, 2019. Owners may contact Oshkosh customer service at 1-888-686-7278.
Recall 19V-092: Exterior Lighting
Problem: Oshkosh Corporation (Oshkosh) is recalling certain 2014-2019 S-Series Glider vehicles equipped with a strobe light package in the rear fender. The strobe lights may have been incorrectly located in the rear fender marker light position, potentially causing confusion for other drivers. As a result, the vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective devices, and associated Equipment."
Risk: Strobe lights in this location may be wrongly interpreted when signaling others, increasing the risk of crash.
Fix: Oshkosh will notify owners, and replace the strobe lamp with a steady burning lamp, free of charge. The recall began April 10, 2019. Owners may contact Oshkosh customer service at 1-888-686-7278.

If the valve knob is turned more than one turn, the valve's snap ring may fail and the valve stem may forcibly eject from the valve body.
Risk: The forcible ejection of the stem may increase the risk of injury to those nearby. Additionally, the unintended release of CNG can increase the risk of a fire.
Fix: McNeilus will notify owners, and dealers will replace the valve with a valve from another brand, free of charge. The recall began January 7, 2019 . Owners may contact McNeilus customer service at 1-888-686-7278.
