- Summary
- The air system service relay supply line on the #2 axle is incorrectly installed into the front air system reservoir. Consequence of defect: if front service brakes were to fail, the secondary, or emergency braking system for the #2 axle, would not work. This would lead to a complete loss of braking capability which may cause an accident. Corrective action. Reinstall the air hoses into the rear air system reservoir.
- Notes
- System: brakes, emergency air. Vehicle description: heavy-duty f series trucks equipped with a 72 inch rearwalking beam suspension.

Has your Oshkosh been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Oshkosh dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
