1993 OSHKOSH X LINE Recall

Campaign:

95V177000 on 09/24/1995

Component:

Service brakes, air:controls

Manufactured:

03/31/1993 - 06/30/1993

Affected:

192

Defect:

A stop light switch on the brake treadle valve and a cruise control dump valve switch were omitted during assembly or both switches were installed but were not wired correctly.

Consequence:

If a loss of air pressure occurs in either front or rear brake system, the result of these omissions is that the cruise control, if turned on, would not disengage when the service brake was applied and the brake lights would not illuminate, increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

Correction:

Dealers will install a second stop light switch (wired in parallel) and a second cruise control dump valve switch (wired in series) into the treadle valve.

Notes:

System: brakes; air systems; pedals; linkages and valves.vehicle description: heavy duty truck chassis.note: owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time,should contact oshkosh at 1-800-648-9486. also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
