Plain-English summary

Oshkosh Corporation is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 S-Series Front Discharge Concrete Mixer vehicles manufactured between September 24, 2013, and November 12, 2014. The recall involves 26 vehicles.

The affected vehicles have air tanks that hold less than the required 12 times the combined volume of the service brake chambers. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 121, "Air Brake Systems." In certain situations, the vehicle may have an insufficient quantity of air to operate the brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.

Oshkosh will notify owners, and dealers will install a larger capacity air tank free of charge. The recall began on April 15, 2015. Owners may contact Oshkosh customer service at 1-888-686-7278 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
