NHTSA advisory: park outside

NHTSA has issued a “park outside” advisory for this campaign.

Owners of covered vehicles are advised to park away from structures and other vehicles until the recall repair has been completed. Confirm whether your specific vehicle is covered using its VIN before acting on this.

Check your VIN on NHTSA.gov

Recalls apply to specific vehicles, not to every vehicle of a model year. Check your VIN with NHTSA or your manufacturer's dealer to confirm whether a recall affects your vehicle.

What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Kalmar Solutions, LLC (Kalmar) is recalling certain 2014-2026 Ottawa T2 4X2 and 2016-2026 T2 6X4 DOT/EPA terminal tractors. The printed circuit board (PCB) insulation may become damaged, resulting in a short circuit.

The risk

A short circuit increases the risk of a fire even when the vehicle is parked and the ignition is in the 'Off' position.

The remedy

Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures until their vehicle is repaired. Kalmar will rewire the cabin power and add a 5A fuse to the PCB circuit, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed by December 4, 2026. Owners may contact Kalmar customer service at 1-888-229-6300, select option 4, then option 2.

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.
