Recall campaignsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

20V783000

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL

Dec 15, 2020
7 units potentially affected
The defect: 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 remedy: 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.

What a recall is

Safety recall
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
Safety investigation
NHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
Manufacturer communication
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
