ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
DEPENDING ON THE LOCATION AND THE ELECTRICAL DEMAND, A COMBINATION OF CORROSION AND HEAT CAN CAUSE A MOMENTARY BREAK ON EITHER OF TWO ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS AT THE BULKHEAD CONNECTOR (21 OR 29). IF THESE CIRCUITS FAIL, THE IGNITION, PARKING LIGHT, FUEL PUMP, FUSE PANELS AND THE SECONDARY ELECTRICAL BRAKING SYSTEM WILL LOSE POWER.
NHTSA ID: 94V130000
Component: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
# of Units Affected: 398
Consequence Summary:
LOSS OF POWER TO THE SECONDARY ELECTRICAL BRAKING SYSTEM CAN RESULT IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES AND POSSIBLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Corrective Action:
POWER FROM THE BATTERY WILL BE RUN DIRECTLY TO THE STOP LAMP SWITCH AND THE IGNITION SWITCH. THIS WILL ELIMINATE THE BULKHEAD CONNECTION FOR THE IGNITION CIRCUIT AND BACK-UP BRAKE CIRCUIT AS WELL AS DIVIDING UP THE LOAD ON THE TWO QUESTIONABLE CIRCUITS.
Park Outside Advisory: No
Do not Drive Advisory: No

BRAKES:AIR SYSTEMS:AIR SUPPLY SYSTEM
THE AIR COMPRESSOR AIR SUPPLY LINE IS ROUTED FROM THE COMPRESSOR OVER THE TOP OF THE FRAME RAIL, UNDER THE BRAKE HYDROMAX, AND DOWN TO THE AIR SYSTEM. THIS LINE CAN CONTACT THE STEEL SECTION OF THE HYDROMAX HYDRAULIC SUPPLY LINE, CAUSING A LEAK TO OCCUR IN THE HYDRAULIC LINE, ALLOWING HYDRAULIC FLUID TO LEAK ON THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL AND BRAKE ASSEMBLY.
NHTSA ID: 94V109000
Component: SERVICE BRAKES, AIR
# of Units Affected: 37
Consequence Summary:
THE LEAK ALLOWS ENOUGH FLUID TO BE PUMPED FROM THE SYSTEM TO ELIMINATE POWER STEERING ASSIST. THE ELECTRONIC SECONDARY BRAKE PUMP WILL ENGAGE, BUT THE LEAK WILL RESULT IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE.
Corrective Action:
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A CUSHION CLIP ON THE TOP LEFT FRAME RAIL SEPARATING AND ELIMINATING ANY CONTACT BETWEEN THE STEEL JACKETED AIR LINE AND THE METAL SECTION OF THE HYDRAULIC LINE.
Park Outside Advisory: No
Do not Drive Advisory: No

FUEL:THROTTLE LINKAGES AND CONTROL
A THROTTLE CONTROL CABLE WITH AN INNER "STEEL SHIELDED" COMPONENT WAS SUBSTITUTED FOR A CABLE WITH AN INNER "STEEL STRANDED" COMPONENT IN A DESIGN WHICH REQUIRES A MINIMUM BEND RADIUS OF 4 INCHES. THE INNER "STEEL SHIELDED" CABLE HAS A MINIMUM BEND RADIUS OF 8 INCHES, AND CAN BIND OR BREAK IN ITS CURRENT USE IN THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLY.
NHTSA ID: 94V104000
Component:
# of Units Affected: 864
Consequence Summary:
THIS CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.
Corrective Action:
REPLACE THE ENTIRE CABLE A NEW CABLE WITH THE SPECIFIED 4 INCH RADIUS CAPABILITY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT
A CRUISE CONTROL ELECTRONIC REGULATOR (CCER) IS PROVIDED WITH THE TRUCK CHASSIS, AND IS MOUNTED ON THE CHASSIS ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTIONAL DRAWINGS PROVIDED BY OSHKOSH. SOME BODY BUILDERS HAVE INSTALLED THE CCER OUTSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. IN THIS LOCATION, MOISTURE CAN ACCUMULATE AROUND THE CIRCUIT BOARD CAUSING A SIGNAL TO GO TO THE VACUUM PUMP OF THE CRUISE CONTROL, WHICH PULLS THE THROTTLE TO A "FULL OPEN" POSITION WITHOUT WARNING. DEPRESSING THE BRAKE OR TURNING OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH WILL INTERRUPT THE SIGNAL.
NHTSA ID: 94V099000
Component: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
# of Units Affected: 855
Consequence Summary:
A "FULL OPEN" THROTTLE OCCURRING WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.
Corrective Action:
ALL CHASSIS MANUFACTURED FROM FEBRUARY, 1991 TO APRIL 1993 WILL BE RECALLED AND OWNERS NOTIFIED TO HAVE THE CCER MOVED INSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT IN A DRY ENVIRONMENT.
Park Outside Advisory: No
Do not Drive Advisory: No

FUEL:FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY:ATTACHMENTS
AN "L" SHAPED BRACKET WELDED TO THE FUEL TANK SUFFERS FROM FATIGUE FAILURE OF THE STRAP WELD TO THE FUEL TANK. WHEN ONE STRAP FAILS, THE TANK WILL ALLOW THE TANK TO MOVE WILL THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, CAUSING INCREASED FATIGUE TO OTHER TANK ATTACHMENT WELDS.
NHTSA ID: 94V067000
Component: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
# of Units Affected: 842
Consequence Summary:
IF SEVERAL TANK STRAP WELDS FAIL BEFORE CORRECTIVE ACTION CAN BE PERFORMED, THE FUEL TANK CAN SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE, CAUSING A ROAD HAZARD.
Corrective Action:
SPRINGS AT THE FOUR LOWER STRAP MOUNT CONNECTIONS TO THE LOWER FRAME HAVE BEEN POSITIONED TO COMPENSATE FOR FRAME MOVEMENT. THESE SPRINGS WILL PROVIDE CONSISTENT STRAP FORCE AROUND THE TANK REGARDLESS OF FRAME MOVEMENT.
Park Outside Advisory: No
Do not Drive Advisory: No

LIGHTING:GENERAL OR UNKNOWN COMPONENT:TAIL LIGHTS
THE ELECTRICAL WIRING HARNESS DOES NOT ALWAYS INSURE A POSITIVE GROUND BETWEEN THE SELF-GROUNDING SEVEN WAY RECEPTACLE AND THE REAR LIGHT ASSEMBLIES THROUGH THE SLIDING RUNNING GEAR FRAME. VIBRATION FROM VEHICLE OPERATION CAUSES INTERMITTENT LOSS OF AN ELECTRICAL GROUND TO THE REAR FRAME.
NHTSA ID: 94V048000
Component: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
# of Units Affected: 160
Consequence Summary:
THE INTERMITTENT LOSS OF ELECTRICAL GROUND CAUSES FLICKERING OF THE REAR LIGHTS.
Corrective Action:
A GROUNDING WIRE WILL BE ADDED TO THESE VEHICLES.
