SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:RESERVOIR/TANK
- The defect
- Kalmar Solutions, LLC (Kalmar) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Ottawa T2 6X4 vehicles. The air tanks have an insufficient volume of air for the brake system. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
- What it can cause
- Insufficient air volume can reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the air tank, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 24, 2024. 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 .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 96 vehicles this is a small campaign: 70% 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 model years 2016 to 2017, so the oldest vehicles on it were 8 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Kalmar vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, air 2 times before this, most recently in April 2016 as 16V189000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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 19, 2024 as campaign 24V620000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
