What's wrong?
The brake pedal bracket on the 2013 Oshkosh S-Series ready mixed concrete truck holds the pedal assembly in place. When the driver presses the brake pedal, that bracket keeps the pedal fixed and aligned so force transfers into the service brake system. The bracket needs tight fasteners because every stop puts load through that mounting point.
On included trucks, the lock washers that keep the bracket fasteners tight were missing. A lock washer is a small washer designed to help a bolt resist loosening from vibration and repeated pedal movement. Without that hardware, the brake pedal bracket can loosen. As it loosens, the pedal assembly no longer stays as firmly aligned, so brake input can feel less solid and the service brakes can be harder to apply as intended.
There is no warning sign before failure. If the bracket has started to loosen, an owner or driver can notice looseness, movement, or an unusual pedal feel only after the problem is already present.

What's the safety risk?
A loose brake pedal bracket can let the pedal contact the cab floor. That reduces braking capability and increases the risk of a crash. Schedule the recall inspection soon and avoid putting the vehicle back into service until the brake pedal mounting assembly is checked. Repair will be free at any franchised Oshkosh dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013 Oshkosh S-Series is included in this recall.
- Contact Oshkosh customer service at 1-888-686-7278 to confirm the owner notice Oshkosh began sending on February 7, 2014.
- Ask a franchised Oshkosh dealer about the free brake-pedal-bracket inspection and correction for missing lock washers.
- Reference recall number 13V651 when you call the dealer or Oshkosh customer service.
- Drive cautiously until the bracket is inspected. Stop driving if the brake pedal feels loose or contacts the cab floor.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Oshkosh technician will inspect the brake pedal mounting assembly for the loose bracket condition tied to missing lock washers. If the assembly needs correction, the technician will correct the mounting hardware so the brake pedal bracket is secured as intended. The dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall. Ask the service desk to confirm the recall applies to your VIN before the truck enters service.
