b. Install the safety lockout device ring (Figure B, Item 1) through the holes on the battery disconnect switch and the bracket.
c. Install a padlock (Figure B, Item 2) onto the safety lockout device ring, lock it, and put the key in your pocket. If more than one person is working on the vehicle, each person must install his or her own padlock.
d. Allow truck to cool before inspecting/replacing power steering pump.
Pump Inspection
3. Locate power steering pump on right-hand side of engine, see Figure 1. The pump serial number is stamped on pump body, closest to the engine block. Use a mirror to verify pump serial number on pump body.
If the pump serial number matches one of the serial numbers in Table 1 continue to Step 4.
If the pump serial number does not match one of the serial numbers in Table 1 pump inspection is complete and no further action is required.
Chronology :
In August 2021, Oshkosh was contacted by its supplier, ZF, about a potential issue affecting certain power steering pumps. ZF noted that another OEM, Spartan Fire, had conducted a safety recall on a power steering pump with a similar part number. Oshkosh initiated an internal review of its experience with the power steering pump at issue and noted that while it had received a limited number of warranty claims, the majority of those claims involved failures that occurred within the first approximately five months of vehicle use. Based on this data and information from the supplier that any affected parts would have been isolated to within the first five months of vehicle use, it was believed that any issues with the power steering pumps in Oshkosh vehicles were isolated to early use of the vehicle and had already been addressed in the field. In late September 2021, Oshkosh received a report of two trucks that experienced a power steering pump failure. Upon further investigation, Oshkosh determined that these vehicles were approximately one year old at the time of the failure. Since the production date of these two vehicles fell well-outside of the timeline that suggested the parts issue was isolated to early use of the vehicle, Oshkosh began to investigate further. Oshkosh found that all related warranty claims involved reports of hydraulic power steering oil falling onto engine oil with no reports indicating an actual loss of steering assist while driving. On October 27, 2021, NHTSA contacted Oshkosh about whether it would be submitting a recall report related to this issue. Oshkosh’s investigation was already ongoing and on November 1, 2021, Oshkosh decided to initiate a safety recall to address vehicles in the field.

OMB Control No.: 2127-0004 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 21V-851 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Manufacturer Name : Oshkosh Corporation Submission Date : DEC 07, 2021 NHTSA Recall No. : 21V-851 Manufacturer Recall No. : NR Manufacturer Information : Manufacturer Name : Oshkosh Corporation Address : 2307 Oregon Street PO Box 2566 Oshkosh WI 54903-2566 Company phone : 920-235-9151 Population : Number of potentially involved : 687 Estimated percentage with defect : 20 % Vehicle Information : Vehicle 1 : 2020-2021 Oshkosh S-Series Vehicle Type : BUSES, MEDIUM & HEAVY VEHICLES Body Style : ALL Power Train : DIESEL Descriptive Information : The recall is based on vehicles equipped with certain power steering pumps supplied by ZF. The Oshkosh part number is A000H951. Production Dates : MAY 13, 2020 – MAR 23, 2021 VIN Range 1 : Begin : NR End : NR Not sequential Description of Defect : Description of the Defect : According to the recall report submitted by ZF, a machining defect on the internal pump rotor caused the rotor to be out of the specified flatness. This condition may cause the pressure to build and the steering shaft seal to leak, resulting in a loss of power steering assist. FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : A loss of power steering assist could increase the risk of a crash. Description of the Cause : NR Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : If a vehicle’ engine oil is over full, this may be a sign that of a failed pump shaft seal. Low hydraulic oil in the tank may be a sign of hydraulic oil moving past the pump shaft seal. Increased effort to steer the vehicle may be an indication of a failed steering pump. Involved Components : Part 573 Safety Recall Report 21V-851 Page 2 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Component Name 1 : Power steering pump Component Description : Power steering pump Component Part Number : A000H951 Supplier Identification : Component Manufacturer Name : ZF North America, Inc. Address : 800 Heath St Lafayette Indiana 47904 Country : United States Chronology : In August 2021, Oshkosh was contacted by its supplier, ZF, about a potential issue affecting certain power steering pumps. ZF noted that another OEM, Spartan Fire, had conducted a safety recall on a power steering pump with a similar part number. Oshkosh initiated an internal review of its experience with the power steering pump at issue and noted that while it had received a limited number of warranty claims, the majority of those claims involved failures that occurred within the first approximately five months of vehicle use. Based on this data and information from the supplier that any affected parts would have been isolated to within the first five months of vehicle use, it was believed that any issues with the power steering pumps in Oshkosh vehicles were isolated to early use of the vehicle and had already been addressed in the field. In late September 2021, Oshkosh received a report of two trucks that experienced a power steering pump failure. Upon further investigation, Oshkosh determined that these vehicles were approximately one year old at the time of the failure. Since the production date of these two vehicles fell well-outside of the timeline that suggested the parts issue was isolated to early use of the vehicle, Oshkosh began to investigate further. Oshkosh found that all related warranty claims involved reports of hydraulic power steering oil falling onto engine oil with no reports indicating an actual loss of steering assist while driving. On October 27, 2021, NHTSA contacted Oshkosh about whether it would be submitting a recall report related to this issue. Oshkosh’s investigation was already ongoing and on November 1, 2021, Oshkosh decided to initiate a safety recall to address vehicles in the field. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 21V-851 Page 3 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : Oshkosh will provide customers with a list of serial numbers for the affected power steering pump parts and have customers inspect and replace if a suspect pump found. Oshkosh will provide customers with Instructions on how to inspect for affected pumps as well as instructions on how to install a new pump if pump replacement is needed. The replacement parts will be provided at no cost to customers and customers would also be reimbursed for labor costs. Customers can also choose to have a service center perform the inspection and repair work free of charge. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : The remedy component has been inspected by ZF and confirmed rotor flatness within their specifications. Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : According to the supplier, power steering pumps from ZF were measured and do not exhibit this issue after 07/23/20. No concerns have been reported on vehicles built with known good parts for rotor out of flatness specification. Recall Schedule : Description of Recall Schedule : Notifications to customers will be made via a customer letter. The 577 customer letter will be mailed pending NHTSA approval. Oshkosh does not distribute vehicles through dealers. Planned Dealer Notification Date : NR – NR Planned Owner Notification Date : DEC 13, 2021 – DEC 31, 2021 * NR – Not Reported
