IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL:
April 2021
This notice applies to your REV Ambulance Group Orlando, Inc. (REVO) Ambulance unit with the VIN number(s):
REVO Ambulance vendor component issue, NHTSA recall number: 21V289
Dear REV Ambulance Owner
This notice is being sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Highway Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Rev Ambulance Group Orlando, Inc. has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in a component of certain Weldonโs, a division of Akron Brass V-Mux Vista IV user interface panels.
WHAT IS BEING RECALLED?
The V-Mux Vista IV Interface. Power and ground are critical to proper operation of electronics including the Vista IV display. The Vista IV display has an operating voltage of 9โ32 VDC. When the supply voltage at the display drops, even for a moment, such as when starting the engine, the VโMUXยฎ Vista IV Interface typically turns off and quickly and automatically restarts. However, units on the attached list may not restart on their own if the voltage dips out of range (less than 9 volts).
WHY IS IT BEING RECALLED?
Low voltage may lead the V-Mux Vista IV Interface to a blank display and sometimes loss of button function when the LCD display or the CPU do not restart properly, which can increase the risk of injury. The installer supplied wiring and loads engaged when starting the vehicle, may have an impact on whether the issue presents itself in any one vehicle installation so you may not have experienced this issue, so even if the issue has not occurred the Vista IV should be replaced.
WHAT YOU AS THE OWNER/OPERATOR SHOULD DO:
Unit serial numbers on the attached list are Vista IV displays that our records show was shipped to you and that are part of the recall. Once the serial number has been confirmed, please contact Weldon, a division of Akron Brass for a replacement screen free of charge to you. Weldon will allow 1 hours of labor to remove and replace the V-Mux Vista IV display.
Please contact Brett Carlson, BCarlson@idexcorp.com or your Weldon representative to arrange the remedy.
