elieve it or not, all battery retainers are not the same. That’s especially true for the
retainers used on battery trays for some FMTVs.
Turns out some of the battery retainers, NSN 6160-01-567-2595, did not receive
a special coating before they left the factory ±oor. The coating is designed to help
prevent corrosion.
Rather
than
replace
them,
Oshkosh
has
extended
the
warranty for battery trays with
non-coated retainers to ²ve years
from the date of handoff. Battery
trays with coated retainers still
have a two-year warranty.
How do you know which
retainers you have? The battery
trays with non-coated retainers
are
tan.
Trays
with
coated
retainers are black.
If you have corrosion issues with coated or non-coated retainers that are still under
warranty, call the Oshkosh warranty hotline at (800) 393-9921. Or send an email to:
