MAXI-METAL INC. is recalling 19 of its 2020-2023 MAXI/Freightliner and MAXI/Kenworth trucks equipped with Weldon 8X16 Input-Output nodes. A firmware defect in these nodes can prevent the system from shutting off power during a short circuit or wiring failure, leading to overloaded electrical circuits. MAXI-METAL will coordinate with Weldon to provide a free firmware update to all affected vehicles to ensure the safety system functions correctly.
The overloaded electrical circuits can overheat, which significantly increases the risk of a vehicle fire. This occurs because the node's firmware fails to shut off the output pin when a circuit failure is detected.
Free firmware update for Weldon 8X16 Input-Output nodes.
