STEERING
- The defect
- Kalmar Solutions, LLC (Kalmar) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Ottawa T2 terminal tractors. The steering gears may have been assembled incorrectly, which can cause the gears to fracture.
- What it can cause
- A fractured steering gear can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the steering gears, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 17, 2022. Owners may contact Kalmar customer service at 1-785-229-6327.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

It covers model years 2021 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 23V029000 (equipment), 22V786000 (engine and engine cooling), 22V298000 (parking brake), 21V552000 (electronic stability control (esc)).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Kalmar Solutions, LLC with NHTSA on August 3, 2022 as campaign 22V566000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
