ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
- The defect
- Oshkosh Corporation (Oshkosh) is recalling certain 2019-2022 S-Series vehicles. These vehicles were manufactured with 10 amp Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) fuses, instead of the required 15 amp ABS fuses.
- What it can cause
- The incorrectly sized fuse may blow during an ABS braking event, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Oshkosh will provide owners new fuses, a new fuse label, and installation instructions, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 29, 2021. Owners may contact Oshkosh customer service at 1-888-686-7278.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 897 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 57% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Oshkosh vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system once before this, most recently in June 2016 as 16V410000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 8 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V917000 (vehicle speed control), 22V378000 (electrical system), 22V009000 (suspension), 22V008000 (fuel system, diesel).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Oshkosh Corporation with NHTSA on June 27, 2021 as campaign 21V482000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
