- Defect:
- Oshkosh corporation (oshkosh) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 s-series front discharge concrete mixer vehicles manufactured september 24, 2013, to november 12, 2014. the affected vehicles have air tanks that hold less than the required 12 times the combined volume of the service brake chambers. as a result, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) no. 121, "air brake systems."

- Defect:
- Oshkosh corporation (oshkosh) is recalling certain model year 2015 s-series front discharge concrete mixer glider trucks manufactured february 10, 2015, to march 20, 2015. the affected vehicles have allison hd4500 transmissions that were remanufactured by valley truck parts that may be coated with a thick layer of paint on the torque converter to adaptation kit mounting surface which can soften during vehicle operation. this may result in the mounting bolts loosening.
