Weldon Division of Akron Brass is recalling approximately 769 Hercules HC 1.7 Node multiplex nodes, which are electrical components used in vehicle systems. A firmware defect in these nodes can prevent the system from shutting off electrical power during a short circuit or wiring failure, leading to overloaded circuits. To resolve this issue, Weldon will provide a free firmware update to all affected owners.
If the electrical system becomes overloaded and fails to shut off, the circuits can overheat. This creates a significant risk of an electrical fire within the vehicle.
