Hi-Tech E.V.S. recall: Electrical system
What is wrong
Hi-Tech E.V.S. (Hi-Tech) is recalling certain 2021 Spartan Gladiator and 2020 MetroStar emergency vehicles equipped with Weldon V-Mux Vista IV Standard LCD displays used for controlling emergency vehicle lighting and HVAC functions. These displays may experience low voltage spikes, and cause the LCD display to lock up or become nonfunctional, due to varying electrical installations.
What could happen
If the LCD freezes or becomes non-functional, emergency efforts can be delayed, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Spartan will replace the LCD display, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on April 22, 2022. Owners may contact Hi-Tech's customer service at 1-209-847-3042.
