Oshkosh Corporation reported this defect to federal regulators on Feb 26, 2021 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 19. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Oshkosh Corporation (Oshkosh) is recalling certain 2020-2021 S-Series vehicles. The rear axle output shaft may not have been heat-treated properly, which could cause the shaft to fracture.
The risk
A fractured rear output shaft may cause the shaft or interaxle driveline to detach from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
The remedy
Oshkosh will notify owners, and owners will be instructed to inspect the output shaft, and if necessary, order a new one and replace it, free of charge. The recall began on March 31, 2021. 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 21V125000.
