Kalmar Recalls 2010-2013 Ottawa Terminal Tractors Due to Fire Risk
Kalmar is recalling certain 2010-2013 Ottawa terminal tractors because condensation in the intake manifold may freeze, causing elevated exhaust temperatures or flames that increase the risk of fire or burn injury.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk of vehicle fire and burn injury, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or high-risk vehicle defects, warranting a Severe rating.
Plain-English summary
Kalmar Solutions, LLC is recalling certain model year 2010, 2012, and 2013 Ottawa terminal tractors manufactured between May 2010 and August 2013. These vehicles are equipped with certain Cummins Westport Model ISL G engines. The recall affects 15 vehicles.
The defect involves condensation in the intake manifold that may freeze during cold weather conditions. This freezing can interfere with the proper operation of the intake manifold pressure sensor. Improper sensor operation could induce elevated exhaust temperatures or flames from the exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire or burn injury to a person near the exhaust pipe.
Cummins Inc. and Cummins Wesport Inc. will notify owners. Authorized Cummins service facilities will upload a new ECM calibration free of charge to correct the issue. The recall began on March 18, 2014. Customers may contact Kalmar at 1-785-229-6341 or Cummins Inc. at 1-800-343-7357.
