What's wrong?
The main cab dash wiring harness on the 2025 Oshkosh Defense Ngdv Ice is the bundle of wires and connectors that carries electrical signals through the cab. The air bag system depends on that harness to pass a clean signal between sensors, control modules, and the air bags. Inside the connector, small metal terminals touch matching pins so the circuit stays complete.
On affected vehicles, supplier continuity testing deformed terminals inside the harness connector. When a terminal is bent beyond its proper shape, it does not make a strong electrical connection. That weak connection can interrupt air bag system signals, which can keep the air bags from deploying as intended in a crash.
There is no warning sign before failure. Oshkosh found the issue after a diagnostic trouble code during a production check, but the filing says there is no known warning for the vehicle driver.
