- Summary
- On certain terminal tractors, the heater/air-conditioning (AC) duct under the dash was not properly routed or secured. Chaffing may occur exposing the steel spiral reinforcement.
- Consequence
- If this reinforcement is contacted with an electrical power connector, such as the power stud on the firewall, it may cause an electrical short resulting in a spark and potential fire.
- Remedy
- Owners will be provided with instructions on how to inspect their vehicle for the presence of the defective heater/AC hose duct. If after inspection, the vehicle is determined to have an improper heater/AC hose, kalmar will send a replacement heater/AC hose. The recall began on February 11, 2008. Owners may contact kalmar at 1-786-229-6327.
