The short answer

NHTSA received Oshkosh Corporation’s report on Sep 11, 2020. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

As a result of a pressure switch air leak, the braking distance may be diminished and/or the parking brake may automatically engage. If the vehicle is equipped with an affected brake switch on both the front and the rear brakes and both parts fail, the brake lights may not operate. These conditions may increase the risk of a crash.

Oshkosh Corporation (Oshkosh) is recalling certain Bendix Pressure Switches, part number 4133101, sold as aftermarket parts.

The plastic threads holding the two halves of the pressure switch may strip when the switch is pressurized, resulting in an air leak which, if severe enough, can cause the air system to lose pressure when the brakes are applied.

Failure of the front and rear brake switches will also result in a loss of brake light functionality.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
