Oshkosh Corporation is recalling 108 Sheppard Steering Gears (part number 3875726) sold as replacement parts for S-Series vehicles. These steering gears may have been assembled incorrectly during manufacturing, which can cause the gear to fracture. If the gear shaft fractures, the driver will lose steering control, which significantly increases the risk of a crash. Oshkosh is working with its supplier, R.H. Sheppard, to inspect and replace any affected parts free of charge.
The steering gear shaft can fracture due to incorrect assembly. This lead to a complete loss of steering control while driving, making it impossible to steer the vehicle and increasing the likelihood of a collision.
