The short answer

NHTSA received KALMAR INDUSTRIES CORP’s report on Aug 7, 2006. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 24, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

IN AN ANTI-LOCK BRAKING EVENT, THIS WILL CAUSE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) TO MALFUNCTION. THE ABS PERFORMANCE WILL BE DEGRADED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

ON CERTAIN TERMINAL TRACTORS EQUIPPED WITH BENDIX AIR MODULATOR VALVES, THE ELECTRICAL WIRING TO THE AIR MODULATOR BRAKE VALVES FROM THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM) IS INCORRECT.

THE WIRES TO THE “EXHAUST” AND “HOLD” CONNECTIONS ON THE BRAKE MODULATOR VALVES ARE REVERSED.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
