- The defect
- Kalmar Solutions, LLC (Kalmar) is recalling certain 2022 Ottawa T2 vehicles. When extended, the cab tilt hydraulic cylinder that is used to raise and lower the cab for maintenance and inspection could come apart, allowing the entire cab to fall forward.
- What it can cause
- A cab that falls forward increases the risk of injury to anyone standing in front of the cab.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the cab tilt cylinder, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 20, 2023. 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 .

How this campaign compares
At 128 vehicles this is a small campaign: 67% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 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 3 other recalls published here: 22V786000 (engine and engine cooling), 22V566000 (steering), 22V298000 (parking brake).
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 January 26, 2023 as campaign 23V029000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
