What this recall means for you
This recall covers certain Ottawa T2 vehicles built between August 16, 2014 and November 17, 2016. The chassis power board in these vehicles is not protected from moisture, so water or humidity exposure can cause an electrical short.
An electrical short can increase the risk of a fire. Owners should watch for any signs of electrical trouble and take the recall seriously.
The remedy is free: an authorized dealer will replace the chassis power distribution center with sealed modules. Vehicles already repaired under recall 16V-073 still need this remedy, since this recall supersedes that one. Owners can contact Kalmar customer service at 1-785-229-6341, and should check their VIN for open recalls.
