ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
- The defect
- Sutphen Corporation (Sutphen) is recalling one 2012 SP70 vehicle equipped with a Weldon V-Mux Vista IV Standard LCD display used for controlling emergency vehicle lighting and HVAC functions. The display may experience low voltage spikes, causing the LCD display to lock up or become non-functional, due to varying electrical installations.
- What it can cause
- A locked up or non-functional LCD display can delay emergency efforts, which can increase the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- A dealer has repaired the affected vehicle, and therefore no owner notification letters will be sent. Owners may contact Sutphen customer service at 1-614-889-1005.
- 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.nhtsa.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 1 vehicle this is a small campaign: 100% 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, 2012, so the oldest vehicles on it were 9 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
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 Sutphen Corporation with NHTSA on May 17, 2021 as campaign 21V358000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
