I'll take a stab at it, but I'm no expert at the rules.  ;-)

The way I'd interpret this is that the unit fired a dud or that the
weapon jammed and needs to be cleared (somehow). Since a 'systems
down' won't allow a vehicle to fire anything (I think not even APSW),
then perhaps this could be a reasonable explanation for infantry
(weapon jammed). Thus 'systems down' on a vehicle could imply weapons
(all of 'em ;-) are jammed, too (all of 'em?!?).
