ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
- The defect
- PL Custom Emergency Vehicles (PL Custom) is recalling one 2021 Ford E-450 emergency vehicle equipped with a Weldon V-Mux Vista IV Standard Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) used for controlling emergency vehicle lighting and HVAC functions. These displays may experience low voltage spikes and cause the LCD to freeze or become nonfunctional, due to varying electrical installations.
- What it can cause
- If the LCD freezes or becomes non-functional, emergency efforts can be delayed, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the IV Standard LCD, free of charge. All vehicles were repaired October 2021. Owners may contact PL Custom's customer service at 1-732-223-1411.
- 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, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 24V008000 (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 PL Custom Emergency Vehicles with NHTSA on August 23, 2021 as campaign 21V654000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
