The defect
Marion Body Works Inc. is recalling certain 2020 Spartan Gladiator and MetroStar 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.
