Summary

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.

Consequence

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.

Remedy

Oshkosh will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the PRD's, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on September 25, 2015. Owners may contact Oshkosh customer service at 1-888-686-7278. Oshkosh's number for this recall is Emcara 15E-059.

Notes

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.safercar.gov.
