ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE
- The defect
- Midwest Fire Equipment & Repair Company (Midwest Fire) is recalling certain 2022-2023 All-Poly Series Tanker-Pumper fire trucks, equipped with a split-shaft transmission and a Class 1 Es-Key multiplex system. A software error may cause a shift from road gear to pump gear, resulting in a loss of drive power.
- What it can cause
- A sudden loss of drive power can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Midwest Fire will provide a USB and instructions to reprogram the multiplex system software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on October 6, 2023. Owners may contact Midwest's customer service at 1-800-344-2059.
- 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 19 vehicles this is a small campaign: 87% 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 model years 2022 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Midwest Fire vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system once before this, most recently in September 2018 as 18V676000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 25V558000 (equipment), 22V853000 (power train).
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 Midwest Fire Equipment & Repair Company with NHTSA on September 7, 2023 as campaign 23V624000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
