QUANTICO, Va. — Brig. Gen. Arthur J. Pasagian, commander of Marine Corps Systems Command, announced today that all Joint Tactical Vehicles (JLTVs), the replacement for the Humvee, would be deadlined across the service after field testing revealed a dangerous defect with their cassette decks.
This decision comes after reports that cassette tape decks in new JLTVs were spontaneously combusting after three or four uses.
Oshkosh Defense, who holds the contract to make JLTVs, released a statement claiming that they “are not liable for this issue."
