Plain-English summary

E-One Incorporated is recalling one model year 2015 Typhoon emergency vehicle manufactured between March 16, 2015, and October 30, 2015. These vehicles are equipped with a Class 1 Ultraview Touchscreen manufactured by Hale Products.

The touchscreen may experience false switch activations that occur without the operator's knowledge, causing accessories such as emergency beacons or automatic snow chains to turn on or off. This unintended operation can increase the risk of a crash.

E-One has notified the owner and installed updated touchscreen software free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2016. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-904-237-1122 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
