Defect description

Kalmar Solutions, LLC (Kalmar) is recalling certain 2015-2022 Ottawa T2 terminal tractors. The trailer handbrake valve and the trailer parking brake valve vent lines are plumbed together. This can cause the trailer parking brake to set unexpectedly when the trailer handbrake is released. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems."

Safety risk

A trailer parking brake that sets unexpectedly can cause unintended vehicle motion, and increase the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Dealers will replace the tee fitting on the handbrake valve and reroute the parking brake valve and handbrake valve separately, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 25, 2022. Owners may contact Kalmar's customer service at 1-785-229-6327.
