What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Oshkosh Corporation is recalling certain model year 2013 S-Series ready mixed concrete trucks manufactured May 1, 2013, through November 27, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the brake pedal bracket may loosen due to missing lock washers.

The risk

A loose brake pedal bracket may allow the brake pedal to contact the floor of the cab, which would reduce the vehicle's braking capability and increase the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Oshkosh will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and correct the brake pedal mounting assembly as necessary, free of charge. The recall began February 7, 2014. Owners may contact Oshkosh 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.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
