2020–2021 Oshkosh S-Series recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
Oshkosh Corporation (Oshkosh) is recalling certain 2020-2021 S-Series vehicles. The rear axle output shaft may not have been heat-treated properly, which could cause the shaft to fracture.
💥 The risk
A fractured rear output shaft may cause the shaft or interaxle driveline to detach from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
🔧 The fix
Oshkosh will notify owners, and owners will be instructed to inspect the output shaft, and if necessary, order a new one and replace it, free of charge. The recall began on March 31, 2021. Owners may contact Oshkosh customer service at 1-888-686-7278.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
