Data Classification: Public / Internal / Restricted / Confidential 1 (2) {{ Registered Owner}} {{ Owner Address }} {{Owner City}} {{ State }} {{ Zip Code }} USA Jun 02, 2022 Safety Recall 22V298 – Trailer Hand Brake Valve Malfunction This notice applies to your vehicle with {{VIN}} – Chassis Serial Number {{ UE }} Important Safety Recall This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Kalmar has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in Ottawa T2 model terminal tractors manufactured between January 1, 2015 and April 1, 2022. As a result of this decision Kalmar has initiated a recall of the affected vehicles. Our investigation has determined that Kalmar Ottawa T2 vehicles with a trailer hand brake valve option can unintentionally cause the trailer parking brake valve to set and cause unexpected vehicle motion if the trailer hand brake valve is released too quickly. The parking brake can unexpectedly set, increasing the risk of a crash. In order to remedy the situation, you should contact your local Kalmar terminal tractor certified dealer and have them perform field campaign SB22RC0001. Kalmar will replace the tee fitting that ties the trailer handbrake valve to the parking brake valve and replace it with a union. The trailer hand brake valve vent is then routed through the floor of the cabin under the brake treadle. The remedy will take approximately 30 minutes (½ hour) to complete. The remedy will be performed at no cost to you.

FMVSS 1 : 121 – Air brake systems FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : The safety risk is that the trailer brakes being unexpectedly set may result in unexpected vehicle motion, increasing the risk of a crash. There have been no recorded accidents as a result of this issue to date. Description of the Cause : The trailer handbrake valve and the parking brake valve vent lines are plumbed together. Rapid release of the trailer handbrake causes a back pressure in the trailer parking brake valve which unintentionally causes the trailer parking brakes to set.
