Summary
The transmission shifter allows the vehicle to remain in reverse gear even though the shifter is placed in the park-brake position if the operator has not placed the shifter into the park-brake detent.
Consequence
Even though the parking brake is set when the shifter isin the p-b position, the vehicle remains in reverse gear and could move withoutprior warning. This could result in an accident or injury to anyone standingbehind the vehicle.
Remedy
Install an audible alarm that sounds when the parking brake is set and the transmission is in reverse, to warn the operator that the shifter has not been placed in the park-brake detent. Also, incorporate a caution label on the gear shift selector handle, instructing the operator to confirm the shifter is in the park-brake detent position.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

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.
