The short answer

NHTSA received OSHKOSH TRUCK CORPORATION’s report on May 24, 1994. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 28, 2026.

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

What’s wrong with it?

A “FULL OPEN” THROTTLE OCCURRING WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.

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.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
