Plain-English summary

Sutphen Corporation is recalling one 2012 SP70 vehicle equipped with a Weldon V-Mux Vista IV Standard LCD display. This display is used for controlling emergency vehicle lighting and HVAC functions. The recall is due to the display potentially experiencing low voltage spikes, which can cause it to lock up or become non-functional due to varying electrical installations.
