Campaign:
93E029001 on 08/31/1993
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:master cylinder
Affected:
1,026
Defect:
A gap between the master cylinder and remote brake fluid reservoir adapter is caused by an out-of-specification condition in the adapter, resulting in hydraulic fluid loss during brake application.
Consequence:
Brake fluid loss results in loss of pressure, causingpartial loss of braking ability.
Correction:
Replace the out-of-specification adapters.
Notes:
System: brake: master cylinder.equipment description: school buses, motorhomes, and shuttle bus chassisequipped with alliedsignal, inc. master cylinders.notes: alliedsignal inc. initiated this campaign.oshkosh recommends that these vehicles be taken out of service until theout-of-specification adapters are replaced. alliedsignal will ship the retrofitkit by federal express overnight to the dealer to minimize the downtime of yourvehicle.if you have problems exchanging your fluid reservoir adapter, pleasecontact oshkosh service center at 1-414-235-1726. also, contact the nationalhighway traffic safety administration at 1-800-424-9393.

Campaign:
94V109000 on 06/21/1994
Component:
Service brakes, air:supply
Manufactured:
11/30/1992 - 05/31/1994
Affected:
37
Defect:
The air compressor air supply line is routed from the compressor over the top of the frame rail, under the brake hydromax, and down to the air system. this line can contact the steel section of the hydromax hydraulic supply line, causing a leak to occur in the hydraulic line, allowing hydraulic fluid to leak on the left front wheel and brake assembly.
Consequence:
The leak allows enough fluid to be pumped from the system to eliminate power steering assist. the electronic secondary brake pump will engage, but the leak will result in increased stopping distance.
Correction:
Dealers will install a cushion clip on the top left frame rail separating and eliminating any contact between the steel jacketed air line and the metal section of the hydraulic line.
Notes:
System: brakes; air system.vehicle description: truck chassis.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 service at 1-414-235-1726. also, contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.

Campaign:

Component:
Vehicle speed control
Manufactured:
03/31/1993 - 05/31/1994
Affected:

Defect:
A bracket installed to secure a high idle component onto the engine throttle arm can hook the wire harness and prevent its return to idle speed.
Consequence:
The engine throttle can stick partially open resulting in loss of throttle control and an accident.
Correction:
Dealers will relocate the high idle bracket away from the throttle linkage and secure the wiring harness away from the throttle linkage.
Notes:
System: fuel; throttle linkages and control.vehicle description: chassis equipped with high idle throttle option.note: if the vehicle is presented to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and the remedy is not provided free of charge within a reasonable time, please contact oshkosh at 1-414-235-1726. also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
