2014–2016 Kalmar Ottawa T2 recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
Kalmar Solutions, LLC (Kalmar) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Ottawa T2 vehicles manufactured August 16, 2014, to November 17, 2016. The affected vehicles are equipped with a chassis power board that is not protected from moisture.
💥 The risk
Exposure to moisture may result in an electrical short which can increase the risk of a fire.
🔧 The fix
Kalmar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the chassis power distribution center with sealed modules, free of charge. Kalmar issued an interim notification to owners on February 7, 2017. Owners may contact Kalmar customer service at 1-785-229-6341. Note: The remedy for this recall will also remedy the safety issue addressed by recall 16V-073, therefore that recall will be superseded by this one. The recall began on March 3, 2017. Any vehicle that was remedied under that campaign still needs this recall remedy.
