ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
- The defect
- Toyne Inc. (Toyne) is recalling certain 2020 Spartan MetroStar and Gladiator 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 causing 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
- Dealers will repair or replace the IV Standard LCD displays, free of charge. Owners may contact Toyne's customer service at 1-712-673-2328. Toyne's number for this recall is 07-21.
- 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 11 vehicles this is a small campaign: 91% 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, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Spartan Fire vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 3 times before this, most recently in May 2021 as 21V329000. 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 Toyne Inc. with NHTSA on July 15, 2021 as campaign 21V535000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
