Hi-Tech E.V.S. is recalling 29 fire trucks, including certain 2020-2023 Gladiator and Metrostar models. These vehicles are equipped with Weldon 8X16 Input-Output nodes that contain a firmware defect. In the event of a short circuit, the system may fail to shut off power, causing electrical circuits to overload and overheat. Weldon will update the vehicle firmware for all affected trucks free of charge.
A firmware failure in the electrical node can prevent output pins from shutting off during a short circuit or wiring failure. This causes overloaded circuits to overheat, which significantly increases the risk of a vehicle fire.
