What's wrong
Halcore Group, Inc. (Halcore) is recalling certain 2020-2021 American Emergency Vehicle Traumahawk Type I Ram 4500, 2020 American Emergency Vehicle Type I Ford F-450 and Ford F-550, and 2021 American Emergency Vehicle Medium Duty Ambulance Freightliner M2 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.
The risk
If the LCD display becomes locked up or non-functional it can delay emergency efforts, which can increase the risk of injury.
The fix
Halcore will notify owners, and dealers will provide updated replacement Vista IV units, free of charge. The recall began January 11, 2021. Owners may contact Halcore customer service at 1-800-447-0343. Halcore's number for this recall is 20E-078.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Vehicles covered by this recall
Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Is this car's recall fixed?
Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
