What happened

Kovatch Mobile Equipment Corp. is recalling certain rescue and fire apparatus vehicles from model years 2013-2017 equipped with Class 1 Ultraview Touchscreens manufactured by Hale Products. The touchscreens may experience false switch activations that can cause accessories such as emergency beacons or automatic snow chains to turn on or off without the operator's knowledge, which can increase the risk of a crash.

KME will notify owners, and authorized dealers will reprogram the units at no charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact KME customer service at 1-800-235-3926 or Hale Products Customer Service Center at 1-800-533-3569 or halecustomerservice@idexcorp.com.
