Summary
Midwest Fire Equipment & Repair Company (Midwest) is recalling certain 2014-2019 Midwest Fire All-Poly Series emergency vehicles equipped with Class 1 Ultraview Touchscreens manufactured by Hale Products.

Consequence
The unintended turning on or off of accessories such as emergency beacons or automatic snow chains can increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Midwest will notify owners, and dealers will upgrade the software or retrofit fuses, free of charge. The recall began October 23, 2018. Owners may contact Midwest customer service at 1-800-344-2059.
