Exterior lighting
- What is wrong
- 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.
- Remedy
- Oshkosh will notify owners, and replace the strobe lamp with a steady burning lamp, free of charge. The recall began April 10, 2019. Owners may contact Oshkosh customer service at 1‑888‑686‑7278.
