Date: 2019-06-21. Systems: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

Defect: Oshkosh Corporation (Oshkosh) is recalling certain 2019 McNeilus Meridian FEL, Atlantic FEL, Contender FEL refuse trucks. The battery cables may have been incorrectly routed and may rub against the fuse box bracket, causing the positive battery cable insulation to wear through.

Consequence: If the battery cable continues to rub against the fuse box bracket, it may short-circuit, increasing the risk of fire.

Remedy: Oshkosh will notify owners to inspect the battery box and reroute the battery cables to ensure they do not come into contact with the fuse box bracket or battery bolts. The recall began August 12, 2019. Owners may contact Oshkosh customer service at 1-888-686-7278.

Notes on this record

  • Complaints from the API and bulk file are merged and deduplicated by ODI number; the API alone misses records.
  • System and subsystem counts are numbers of distinct complaints, recalls or communications that name them. One record can name several systems, so shares across systems can add to more than 100 percent; a single share never exceeds 100 percent.
  • Recalls are counted once per campaign, investigations once per action and manufacturer communications once per NHTSA id, even when NHTSA lists several model names for the same record.
  • A sales denominator is a calendar-year proxy, not the population of vehicles still in use. Rates are copied from verified pipeline output.
  • NHTSA's complaints API and bulk file list no complaint for this make, model and model year in this data build.
