Plain-English summary
Farber Specialty Vehicles is recalling certain 2025 45 MCXCR and 2025-2026 HX620 SBA 6X4 emergency vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where the touchscreen display may stop responding to touch commands or fail to power on. This failure prevents the activation of exterior emergency lights, as well as fire fighting and other emergency equipment.
The defect poses a safety risk because a loss of exterior lights can reduce the visibility of the vehicle to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, inoperative equipment can delay emergency response, which increases the risk of injury.
Farber Specialty will work with Akron Brass to update the firmware and repair the power line free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on June 25, 2026. Owners may contact Farber customer service at 1-800-331-3188 for more information.
