What happened

Oshkosh Corporation is recalling certain 2014-2015 S-Series Front Discharge Concrete Mixer vehicles manufactured between September 24, 2013, and November 12, 2014. These vehicles have air tanks with insufficient capacity—they hold less than the required volume to safely operate the brakes. In certain situations, this could leave the vehicle without enough air pressure to operate its brakes properly, increasing the risk of a crash.

To remedy this issue, Oshkosh will notify owners and install a larger capacity air tank at no charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Oshkosh customer service at 1-888-686-7278 to arrange the service. The recall number is VSR-TSB-010.
