Midwest Fire recall: Electrical system
What is wrong
Midwest Fire Equipment & Repair Company (Midwest) is recalling certain 2014-2019 Midwest Fire All-Poly Series emergency vehicles equipped with Class 1 Ultraview Touchscreens manufactured by Hale Products. These touchscreens may experience false switch activations that can happen without the operator's knowledge causing accessories to turn on or off, affecting vehicle performance.
What could happen
The unintended turning on or off of accessories such as emergency beacons or automatic snow chains can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Midwest will notify owners, and dealers will upgrade the software or retrofit fuses, free of charge. The recall began October 23, 2018. Owners may contact Midwest customer service at 1-800-344-2059.
