2014 OSHKOSH S-SERIES Complaints and Recall Information
The 2014 OSHKOSH S-SERIES has 0 complaints and 5 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report no specific issues through official complaints.
The vehicle is subject to five recalls impacting various systems including the engine, fuel system, lighting, and brakes. These recalls address potential safety hazards and equipment defects affecting operational safety.
Recalls- Engine crankcase pressure. Recall 15V330000 affects 44 vehicles manufactured 2012-2014 with certain Cummins Westport ISL G engines. Excessive crankcase pressure may cause the vent tube assembly’s elbow to detach allowing engine oil contact with hot surfaces, increasing fire risk. Dealers will secure the elbow and update the electronic control module to manage engine output. The recall began June 12, 2015.
- Pressure relief devices. Recall 15V532000 involves 33 vehicles from 2014-2015 powered by compressed natural gas. Faulty pressure relief devices may fail to vent pressure buildup, risking tank explosion and fire. Dealers will inspect and replace devices as needed. The recall started September 25, 2015.
- Intake manifold sensor. Recall 14V183000 covers 46 model year 2012-2014 trucks with certain Cummins Westport ISL G engines. Condensation freezing can impair the intake manifold pressure sensor, potentially causing elevated exhaust temperatures and fire risk. ECM software will be updated free of charge. Notifications began April 2014.
- Exterior lighting placement. Recall 19V092000 affects 241 2014-2019 S-Series Gliders with strobe lights in rear fender marker positions. Incorrect light positioning may confuse other drivers and violate FMVSS 108, increasing crash risk. The strobe lamps will be replaced with steady burning lamps. Recall commenced April 10, 2019.
- Air brake system size. Recall 15V193000 applies to 26 2014-2015 mixers with undersized air tanks insufficient to comply with FMVSS No. 121. Insufficient air volume may reduce brake effectiveness, raising crash risk. Dealers will install larger capacity air tanks beginning April 15, 2015.
Owners dealing with repeated repairs related to these recalls or potential safety defects may want to explore their state’s lemon law protections. Consulting legal resources can help clarify rights and options.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Oshkosh Corporation (Oshkosh) is recalling certain 2014-2019 S-Series Glider vehicles equipped with a strobe light package in the rear fender. The strobe lights may have been incorrectly located in the rear fender marker light position, potentially causing confusion for other drivers. As a result, the vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective devices, and associated Equipment."
Risk: Strobe lights in this location may be wrongly interpreted when signaling others, increasing the risk of crash.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR
Oshkosh Corporation (Oshkosh) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 S-Series Front Discharge Concrete Mixer vehicles manufactured September 24, 2013, to November 12, 2014. 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 the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 121, "Air Brake Systems."
Risk: With the air tank volume being less than required, in certain situations the vehicle may have an insufficient quantity of air to operate the brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:PRESSURE RELIEF DEVICES
Oshkosh Corporation (Oshkosh) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 S-Series concrete mixers manufactured July 16, 2014, to June 30, 2015. The affected concrete mixers are powered with compressed natural gas (CNG) and are equipped with pressure relief devices (PRD) that may not function as designed, failing to vent a buildup of pressure, such as could occur if the CNG tank was exposed to fire.
Risk: If the PRD does not activate in the event of a buildup of pressure, the CNG tank may explode, increasing the risk of fire and injury.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
Oshkosh Corporation (Oshkosh) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 S-Series Front Discharge Concrete Mixer vehicles manufactured February 29, 2012, to November 13, 2013, and equipped with certain Cummins Westport ISL G engines. Excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, possibly allowing engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces.
Risk: If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there is an increased risk of a fire.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
Oshkosh Corporation (Oshkosh) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 S-Series Ready Mixed Concrete trucks manufactured February 29, 2012, through January 27, 2014, and equipped with certain Cummins Westport Model ISL G engines. Condensation in the intake manifold may freeze during cold weather conditions and interfere with the proper operation of the intake manifold pressure sensor.
Risk: The improper operation of the sensor could induce elevated exhaust temperatures or flames from the exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire or burn injury to a person near the exhaust pipe.
