What’s wrong with it?
If the brake system pressure gauge does not display the proper air pressure, there is an increased risk of a crash.
Kalmar Solutions, LLC (Kalmar) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Ottawa T2 vehicles manufactured July 14, 2014, to March 25, 2016.
The brake system air pressure gauge, may not display the accurate air pressure level.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, “Air Brake Systems.”
