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 15, 2014, to November 3, 2016. In the affected vehicles, the ground circuit of the cab power distribution circuit board can be overloaded.

The risk

An overloaded ground circuit may increase the risk of a fire in the dashboard.

The remedy

Kalmar will notify owners, and dealers will modify the wiring harness on the electrical option circuit to bypass the undersized ground circuit, free of charge. The recall began on January 17, 2017. 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.
