  1. Air suspension system (suspension)

    NHTSA 96V159000 Reported 1,597 vehicles potentially affected OSHKOSH TRUCK CORPORATION

    With no air in both front axle air suspension air bags, the chassis suspension will lower to the suspension stop. When that occurs, the track bar bracket can contact the axle steering tie rod.

    Remedy: Dealers will replace the bracket track bar mount with a new design.

  2. Vehicle speed control

    NHTSA 96V156000 Reported 4,855 vehicles potentially affected OSHKOSH TRUCK CORPORATION

    When the chassis/vehicle is operated on a highway and the cruise control system is turned on, with the speed set, if the stop/hazard fuse has failed, the cruise control will not disengage when the brake pedal is depressed.

    Remedy: The cruise control circuits will be rewired and a control relay installed to disengage and deactivate the cruise control if an electrical short or fuse failure occurs.

Checking a specific 1996 Oshkosh Xc

How do I know if my 1996 Oshkosh Xc has an open recall?

Enter your 17-character VIN above. The VIN is on the driver's side dashboard (visible through the windshield), the driver's door jamb sticker, and your registration or insurance card. The check runs against NHTSA's live database and tells you which campaigns list your vehicle. 2 campaigns currently list the 1996 Oshkosh Xc; your car may already have been repaired under some of them.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Under federal law, manufacturers must fix safety recalls at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from the date of sale to the first owner. Contact any authorised Oshkosh dealer with your VIN and the NHTSA campaign number (for example 96V156000).

What is the difference between a recall and a complaint?

A recall is a safety campaign filed by the manufacturer or ordered by NHTSA, with a defined defect and remedy. A complaint is a report an owner sent to NHTSA; it is not verified, but patterns of complaints are what trigger NHTSA investigations and, eventually, recalls.
