August 24, 2020 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V499000
Pressure Switch Threads May Become Stripped
As a result of a pressure switch air leak, the braking distance may be diminished and/or the parking brake may automatically engage. If the vehicle is equipped with an affected brake switch on both the front and the rear brakes and both parts fail, the brake lights may not operate. These conditions may increase the risk of a crash.
NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V499
Manufacturer Oshkosh Corporation
Components SERVICE BRAKES, AIR, PARKING BRAKE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Number of Units Affected 312
Summary
Oshkosh Corporation (Oshkosh) is recalling certain 2020 S-Series vehicles equipped with Bendix pressure switches. The plastic threads holding the two halves of the pressure switch may strip when the switch is pressurized, resulting in an air leak which, if severe enough, can cause the air system to lose pressure when the brakes are applied. Failure of the front and rear brake switches will also result in a loss of brake light functionality.
Remedy
Oshkosh will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake pressure switch and replace it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began September 28, 2020. Owners may contact Oshkosh customer service at 1-888-686-7278.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

If the switch(es) fail an air leak will develop ranging from a small leak to a larger leak causing a loss of pressure in the vehicle air system. Loss of pressure in the vehicle air system will result in diminished braking of the vehicle or automatic engagement of the parking brakes. Failure of both switches will result in a loss of brake light functionality. This bulletin describes how to inspect and replace affected pressure switches.
Important: Do not run or use the vehicle if the pressure switches are faulty. Contact S-Series Service Support at 888-686-7278 immediately.
Affected Vehicles:
The affected vehicle population is Oshkosh S-Series Front Discharge Mixers produced in 2020. Please refer to the attached VIN list of affected vehicles.

WARNING
For trucks without a battery disconnect switch, to prevent accidental vehicle start-up, which could cause death or serious injury, disconnect battery cables (negative cable first) before proceeding.
Disconnect negative (-) battery cable first. If positive (+) cable should contact ground with negative (-) cable connected, the resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion, which could result in death or serious injury.
SAFETY NOTICE
Perform your company’s Lockout/Tagout procedure. If your company does not have a Lockout/Tagout procedure, follow OSHA 1910.147 and 1910.146 Confined Space as appropriate.

a. Turn the battery disconnect switch (Figure A, Item 1) counterclockwise so the hole on the switch aligns with the hole in the bracket (Figure A, Item 2).
b. Install the safety lockout device ring (Figure B, Item 1) through the holes on the battery disconnect switch and the bracket.
c. Install a padlock (Figure B, Item 2) onto the safety lockout device ring, lock it, and put the key in your pocket. If more than one person is working on the vehicle, each person must install his or her own padlock.
3. Locate the two Bendix pressure switches installed on the brake treadle valve, see Figure 1.
4. Check the pressure switch lot number date code label. Suspect lots include 12/19 and 01/20. See Figure 1.
Inspection Results and Actions
A. If either of the pressure switches lot number date code label does not include 12/19 or 01/20 this procedure is complete and no further action is required. Remove your company’s Lockout/Tagout procedure. If your company does not have a Lockout/Tagout procedure, follow OSHA 1910.147 and 1910.146 Confined Space as appropriate. Remove the wheel chocks. Return the vehicle to service.
B. If either of the pressure switches lot number date code label includes 12/19 or 01/20 or the date code label is missing Do not run or use the vehicle, maintain your company’s Lockout/Tagout on the vehicle, and replace the pressure switch(es) per the replacement procedure.
