💥 Crash riskNHTSA 06V306📅 Aug 11, 2006

2002–2004 Ottawa Commando 30 & 2002–2004 Ottawa Commando 50 + 4 more recall: brakes

⚠️ What's wrong

On certain Terminal tractors equipped with bendix air modulator valves, the electrical wiring to the air modulator brake valves from the electronic control module (ECM) is incorrect. The wires to the "exhaust" and "hold" connections on the brake modulator valves are reversed.

💥 The risk

In an anti-lock braking event, this will cause the anti-lock braking system (ABS) to malfunction. The ABS performance will be degraded, increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will provide owners with 4 modulator valve jumper harnesses for installation. Owners should have this remedy done by an individual who is familiar with "bendix" air modulator valves and basic electrical assembly procedures. The recall began on august 4, 2006. Owners may contact ottawa truck at 785-242-2200.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
