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.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

Has your Ottawa been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Ottawa dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
