What's wrong?
The rear fender lighting on 2014-2019 Oshkosh S-Series vehicles helps other drivers read the truck's position from behind and along the side. A rear marker lamp is supposed to mark the vehicle's outline with a red, steady-burning light, so traffic can tell where the rear fender is in low light or poor visibility.
On affected S-Series vehicles, the strobe light package was installed in the rear fender marker light position. That puts a strobe where other drivers expect a steady marker lamp. Oshkosh traced the issue to the wrong lamp being specified, which left the vehicle out of compliance with FMVSS 108 for lamps and reflective equipment.
There is no warning sign before failure. The practical clue is visual: the lamp in that rear fender marker position is not the expected red, steady-burning marker light.

The scope stays on the S-Series across the 2014-2019 model years, with the same exterior lighting component named for each model year.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Oshkosh technician removes the rear fender strobe lamp that was placed in the marker light position and installs a conforming steady burning lamp. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. If you already paid for this lamp correction before the owner notification, Oshkosh says reimbursement is available for that prior work. Contact Oshkosh customer service to start the claim.
