Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Kalmar Solutions is recalling certain 2015-2022 Ottawa T2 terminal tractors because the trailer handbrake valve and trailer parking brake valve vent lines are connected together. This design flaw can cause the trailer parking brake to set unexpectedly when the trailer handbrake is released, potentially causing unintended vehicle motion and increasing crash risk. The vehicles do not meet federal air brake system safety requirements.
To remedy the issue, dealers will replace the tee fitting on the handbrake valve and reroute the parking brake valve and handbrake valve separately at no cost to owners. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 25, 2022. Affected owners should contact Kalmar's customer service at 1-785-229-6327 to arrange the repair.
