What's wrong?
The fuel transfer pump system on 2011-2012 Oshkosh Tpv Gasoline vehicles moves gasoline between tanks so the primary tank has fuel available for the engine. The primary tank, filler neck, and fuel cap are supposed to stay sealed while the pump moves fuel at controlled pressure. That seal matters because gasoline needs to stay inside the tank, not vent or splash out near the vehicle.
In NHTSA campaign 14V225, the pump system can over pressurize the primary tank. When pressure builds too high, it can force the fuel tank cap off the filler neck. Once the cap pops off, gasoline can discharge from the tank instead of staying contained. The filing does not identify a separate root cause beyond the transfer pump system over pressurizing the tank.
There is no warning sign before failure. If the cap has already come off or fuel is present near the filler area, treat that as a sign the tank has been over pressurized.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.
What's the safety risk?
If gasoline discharges from the tank near an ignition source, the vehicle has an increased risk of fire. Arrange service promptly and avoid ignition sources around the fuel system until the repair is complete. Repair will be free at any franchised Oshkosh dealer once available.

What happens at the repair
For NHTSA campaign 14V225, the dealer remedy is to replace the fuel transfer wire harness, then correct the fuel vent line installation and related electrical connections so the primary tank is not over pressurized. Because the final remedy status is not listed as available here, confirm the appointment with an Oshkosh dealer using your VIN. Once the repair is available for your vehicle, an Oshkosh technician performs the harness replacement and line correction at no charge. Parts and labor are covered under the recall.
