What was wrong

Defect

Hale Products, Inc (Hale) is recalling certain Class 1 Ultraview Touchscreen Displays manufactured September 30, 2011, to May 10, 2016, equipped with Class 1 Ultraview Touchscreens manufactured by Hale Products. These touchscreens may experience false switch activations that can happen without the operator's knowledge causing accessories to turn on or off, affecting vehicle performance.

Risk

The unintended turning on or off of accessories such as emergency beacons or automatic snow chains can increase the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Hale will notify the purchasers of the displays. Some models will be reprogrammed, others will get supplemental training guides to prevent the unintended activations. The recall began on June 30, 2016. Owners may contact Hale customer service at 1-800-533-3569.
