What's wrong?
The rear hub bolt on the 2025 Oshkosh Ngdv Electric and Ngdv is one of the fasteners that holds the brake rotor to the rear axle hub. The hub supports the wheel at the axle, while the brake rotor gives the brake pads a surface to clamp when the vehicle slows. Those parts depend on the bolts being tightened to the correct torque.
On affected vehicles, the rear hub fasteners were not tightened correctly during production. Oshkosh found manufacturing records where five torque values were recorded, but one of the five hub fasteners was torqued twice, leaving another fastener without the required torque check. A loose fastener lets the brake rotor and rear axle hub move against each other. If that movement continues, the rear wheel can separate from the axle hub.
The warning sign is noise from the rear axle area as the loose fasteners allow contact between the brake rotor and hub. Treat that noise as a reason to stop using the vehicle and arrange dealer service.
