What's wrong?
The brake pedal linkage on 2025-2026 Oshkosh Ngdv Electric and Ngdv vehicles connects the pedal under the driver's foot to the brake actuator rod. A mounting pin holds that rod to the pedal, and a retaining clip, also called a cotter pin in the filing, keeps the pin from backing out. When those pieces are installed, pedal movement transfers into the service brake system.
On affected vehicles, the mounting pin and retaining clip were left out during assembly. Without those retaining parts, the actuator rod is not secured to the brake pedal the way it was designed to be. The pedal can lose its mechanical connection to the brake actuator rod, which can lead to loss of service brake function.
There is no warning sign before failure. The filing does not describe a noise, light, pedal change, or other symptom that tells the driver the linkage is about to separate.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Oshkosh technician inspects the brake pedal connection where the brake actuator rod is retained. If the mounting pin or retaining clip is missing, the technician installs the needed hardware. The inspection and recall parts are free, and labor is covered under the recall. Oshkosh uses the manufacturer's standard reimbursement plan for documented expenses paid before the recall notice. Keep related repair paperwork with your service records and ask the service desk how to submit it.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 26V074?
Recall 26V074 covers 5,242 2025-2026 Oshkosh Ngdv Electric and Ngdv vehicles. The mounting pin and retaining clip for the brake actuator rod were not installed on some vehicles, so the brake pedal can separate from the actuator. Oshkosh will inspect and install the missing parts for free.
What should I do if my 2025-2026 Oshkosh Ngdv Electric or Ngdv is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific vehicle is included in recall 26V074. If it is, contact Oshkosh Defense customer service at 1-833-304-8100 or the assigned service contact to arrange the inspection and repair. Reference recall NGDV_TSB_059 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires manufacturers to repair safety defects at no cost. Oshkosh Defense will inspect the brake pedal linkage and install the mounting pin and retaining clip as needed, free of charge.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is loss of braking ability. If the brake pedal separates from the actuator, the vehicle loses the normal pedal connection needed to apply the brakes, increasing crash risk. The free repair secures the actuator rod to the brake pedal.
