Filed Aug 19, 202496 vehiclesKalmar Solutions, Llc

Defect. Kalmar Solutions, LLC (Kalmar) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Ottawa T2 6X4 vehicles. The air tanks have an insufficient volume of air for the brake system. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems."

Risk. Insufficient air volume can reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Dealers will replace the air tank, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 24, 2024. Owners may contact Kalmar customer service at 1-785-229-6327.

Parking Brake › Conventional › Air22V298000

Filed May 4, 2022687 vehiclesKalmar Solutions, Llc

Defect. Kalmar Solutions, LLC (Kalmar) is recalling certain 2015-2022 Ottawa T2 terminal tractors. The trailer handbrake valve and the trailer parking brake valve vent lines are plumbed together. This can cause the trailer parking brake to set unexpectedly when the trailer handbrake is released. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems."

Risk. A trailer parking brake that sets unexpectedly can cause unintended vehicle motion, and increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Dealers will replace the tee fitting on the handbrake valve and reroute the parking brake valve and handbrake valve separately, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 25, 2022. Owners may contact Kalmar's customer service at 1-785-229-6327.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
