What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Braun Northwest is recalling certain 2013-2020 NorthStar Ambulance equipped with Weldon V-Mux Vista IV Standard LCD displays used for controlling emergency vehicle lighting and HVAC functions. The displays may experience low voltage spikes and cause the LCD display to lock up or become nonfunctional.

The risk

A locked up or nonfunctional LCD display can delay emergency efforts, increasing the risk of injury.

The remedy

Dealers will repair or replace the displays, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 10, 2021. Owners may contact Braun Northwest customer service at 1-360-748-0195.

Notes

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.

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.
