The problem
E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Commercial, 2019-2020 Cyclone 2 and 2020 Cyclone N, Quest 2, Typhoon and Typhoon N 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, causing the LCD display to lock up or become nonfunctional.
The risk
A locked up or non-functional LCD display can delay emergency efforts, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
E-One will notify owners, and dealers will replace the display or apply a retrofit remedy, free of charge. E-One issued owners an interim notification on December 15, 2020. The recall began January 26, 2021. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-352-237-1122.
