What this recall means for you
The instrument panel LCD display in these emergency vehicles can experience low voltage spikes, which may cause the screen to lock up or stop working entirely. The display controls emergency vehicle lighting and HVAC functions, so a frozen or non-functional screen can make it harder to operate warning lights and climate controls when quick action matters.
A locked or non-functional display can delay emergency response efforts, which increases the risk of injury to the crew, the public, and others on scene. Owners should not wait to have this addressed.
Dealers will repair or replace the LCD display free of charge. Owners can contact Toyne Inc. customer service at 1-712-673-2328 and reference recall number 07-21. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
