2016–2017 Kalmar Ottawa T2 recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
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."
💥 The risk
Insufficient air volume can reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
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.
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.)
