Summary
Hi-Tech E.V.S. (Hi-Tech) is recalling certain 2021 Spartan Gladiator and 2020 MetroStar emergency 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.

If the LCD freezes or becomes non-functional, emergency efforts can be delayed, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy
Spartan will replace the LCD display, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on April 22, 2022. Owners may contact Hi-Tech's customer service at 1-209-847-3042.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

Has your HI-Tech E.v.s. been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A HI-Tech E.v.s. dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
