BENDIX PRESSURE SWITCH
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Oshkosh Corporation is recalling certain Bendix Pressure Switches (part number 4133101) sold as aftermarket parts. The plastic threads holding the switch together may strip when pressurized, causing an air leak that can reduce braking distance and potentially cause the parking brake to engage automatically. If both the front and rear brake switches fail, the brake lights may not operate. These conditions increase the risk of a crash.
Oshkosh will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the affected brake pressure valve at no charge. The recall began September 30, 2020. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Oshkosh customer service at 1-888-686-7278.

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.

Oshkosh Corporation (Oshkosh) is recalling certain Bendix Pressure Switches, part number 4133101, sold as aftermarket parts. 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.
