Plain-English summary
Midwest Fire Equipment & Repair Company is recalling certain 2014-2019 Midwest Fire All-Poly Series emergency vehicles. The recall involves vehicles equipped with Class 1 Ultraview Touchscreens manufactured by Hale Products.
The touchscreens may experience false switch activations without the operator's knowledge, causing accessories such as emergency beacons or automatic snow chains to turn on or off. This unintended operation can affect vehicle performance and increase the risk of a crash.
Midwest will notify owners, and dealers will upgrade the software or retrofit fuses free of charge. The recall began on October 23, 2018. Owners may contact Midwest customer service at 1-800-344-2059 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
