Recall 06V-221: 2006 Oshkosh Highland

The problem

On certain trucks equipped with sr-7 bendix brake valves, the check valve inside the valve cavity may not properly set, causing internal air leakage. If the check valve does not properly seat, the resulting leakage can cause a delay in the application of the spring brakes to park the vehicle after operator pulls the dash valve button.

The risk

The delayed parking brake application can occur without warning, leading to unintended vehicle rollaway increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will inspect the valves and replace it free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on july 1, 2006. Owners may contact oshkosh at 920-233-9244.
