What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Kalmar Solutions, LLC (Kalmar) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Ottawa T2 vehicles manufactured July 14, 2014, to March 25, 2016. The brake system air pressure gauge, may not display the accurate air pressure level. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."

The risk

If the brake system pressure gauge does not display the proper air pressure, there is an increased risk of a crash.

The remedy

Kalmar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the air system pressure sensors, free of charge. The recall began on June 3, 2016. Owners may contact Kalmar customer service at 1-785-229-6327.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
