EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:INFOTAINMENT
- The defect
- Spencer Manufacturing, Inc. (Spencer) is recalling certain 2026 Rescue, 2025 Initial Attack, and 2024-2025 Pumper emergency vehicles. The display may stop responding to touch commands or fail to power on, preventing the activation of exterior emergency lights, fire fighting and other emergency equipment.
- What it can cause
- A loss of exterior lights can reduce the visibility of the vehicle to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash. Inoperative equipment can delay emergency response, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Spencer will work with Hale Products to update the firmware and install a monitor system, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 21, 2026. Owners may contact customer service at 1-269-637-8721.
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.
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |
|---|---|---|
| Spencer Initial Attack | 2025 | Not published here |
| Spencer Pumper | 2024 to 2025 | Not published here |

How this campaign compares
At 5 vehicles this is a small campaign: 95% of the 19,948 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 473. It covers model years 2024 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 24V273000 (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 Spencer Manufacturing, Inc. with NHTSA on November 3, 2026 as campaign 26V729000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
