Defect description
Oshkosh Corporation is recalling certain model year 2013 S-Series ready mixed concrete trucks manufactured May 1, 2013, through November 27, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the brake pedal bracket may loosen due to missing lock washers.
Safety risk
A loose brake pedal bracket may allow the brake pedal to contact the floor of the cab, which would reduce the vehicle's braking capability and increase the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Oshkosh will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and correct the brake pedal mounting assembly as necessary, free of charge. The recall began February 7, 2014. Owners may contact Oshkosh at 1-888-686-7278.
