1991 OSHKOSH M LINE Recalls (2)
- Campaign:
- 94V067000 on 04/12/1994
- Component:
- Fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly:mounting
- Manufactured:
- 09/30/1990 - 10/31/1993
- Affected:
- 842
- Defect:
- An "l" shaped bracket welded to the fuel tank suffers from fatigue failure of the strap weld to the fuel tank. when one strap fails, the tank will allow the tank to move will the vehicle is in motion, causing increased fatigue to other tank attachment welds.
- Consequence:
- If several tank strap welds fail before corrective action can be performed, the fuel tank can separate from the vehicle, causing a road hazard.
- Correction:
- Springs at the four lower strap mount connections to the lower frame have been positioned to compensate for frame movement. these springs will provide consistent strap force around the tank regardless of frame movement.
- Notes:
- System: fuel; fuel tank assembly; attachments.vehicle description: chassis built with 60 gallon fuel tanks.note: if your vehicle is presented to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and the remedy is not provided within a reasonable time and free of charge or the remedy does not correct the defect or noncompliance, please contact oshkosh 1-414-235-1726. also, contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.

- Manufactured:
- 09/30/1990 - 10/31/1993
- Affected:
- 876
- Defect:
- Two top mounting straps secure the fuel tank to the frame. breakage has occurred where the strap bolts to the frame rail.
- Consequence:
- If the strap breaks, the fuel tank can move and rub against the floor of the body and the fuel lines can be damaged.
- Correction:
- Dealers will install a stronger strap replacing the upper strap. a frame crossmember/channel, designed to bolt onto the frame lower flanges directly behind the fuel tank, will be installed when the chassis design did not place a frame crossmember within 2" measured from the rear of the fuel tank.
