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.

Plain-English summary
Kalmar Solutions, LLC is recalling 622 model year 2014-2016 Ottawa T2 trucks manufactured between July 14, 2014, and November 2, 2015. The affected vehicles are equipped with a chassis power board that is not protected from moisture. Additionally, the bolts that mount the chassis power board may rub against the circuit board, potentially causing an electrical short.
Exposure to moisture or rubbing from the mounting bolts may result in an electrical short, which can increase the risk of a fire. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.
The recall began on April 21, 2016. Kalmar will install nylon washers on any truck that was not built with them. Owners may contact Kalmar customer service at 1-785-229-6341 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
