ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
- The defect
- Marion Body Works Inc. is recalling certain 2020 Spartan Gladiator and MetroStar 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.
- What it can cause
- If the LCD display becomes locked up or non-functional it can delay emergency efforts, which can increase the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Marion Body Works will notify owners, and dealers will replace the IV Standard LCD displays, free of charge. The recall began January 19, 2021. Owners may contact Marion Body Works customer service at 1-715-754-5261. Marion Body Works' number for this recall is 20V-762.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 2 vehicles this is a small campaign: 98% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2020, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Spartan Fire vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system once before this, most recently in December 2020 as 20V762000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 15 other recalls published here, the newest being: 23V818000 (electrical system), 23V389000 (equipment), 23V192000 (steering), 22V539000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Marion Body Works Inc. with NHTSA on December 28, 2020 as campaign 20V812000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
