Oshkosh Corporation: Exterior Lighting
Oshkosh Corporation reported this defect to federal regulators on Feb 15, 2019 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 241. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
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."
The risk
Strobe lights in this location may be wrongly interpreted when signaling others, increasing the risk of crash.
The 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.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 19V092000.
