Summary
Kalmar Solutions, LLC (Kalmar) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Ottawa terminal tractors manufactured June 20, 2014, to November 14, 2014. Due to improper routing, the battery ground cable may detach from its mounting on the transmission, and as a result, excessive current may travel through the vehicle's engine harness, melting it.
Consequence
Melting of the engine harness may cause an electrical short and increase the risk of a fire.
Remedy
Kalmar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the battery cable and correct its routing to eliminate stress on its attachment point, free of charge. The recall began on March 26, 2015. Owners may contact Kalmar customer service at 1-785-229-6327.

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 Kalmar 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 Kalmar dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
