IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL INFORMATION
NHTSA RECALL 22 E 037
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Weldon, a division of Akron Brass Company , has decided a safety related defect may exist with some Hercules HC 1.5 I/O Nodes, Weldon Part Number 6060‐1000‐00 produced between January 21, 2022 and April 29, 2022. In the affected products, a termination resistor was installed on the CAN ports. In this configuration and when combined with external resistors located in a harness or with multiple nodes that do not have external resistors, CAN communication may become compromised which can impact any of the electrical loads that are connected to the CAN, including vehicle lighting, potentially increasing the risk of a crash.
Since V‐MUX systems are configured to match user needs, some installations may not present an issue at initial acceptance test, but nevertheless should be remedied. You are receiving this notice because Weldon records indicate you have received shipments of affected units. Please see attached list.
Weldon will remedy the units on the attached list free of charge by replacing them with Hercules HC 1.6 that has the same functionality as the Hercules 1.5, but does not include the internal terminator resistor. The affected units must be returned to Weldon under RMA to be converted to the HC 1.6. Once converted, they will go thru production test before being returned. Nodes will require OEM programming which can be done by USB thumb drive. Warranty labor of 0.5 hour per node at standard rates will be reimbursed to remove and replace a Hercules HC Node installed in a customer’s vehicle.
Affected Part | Hercules HC 1.5 | Part Number 6060‐1000‐00 |
Replacement Part | Hercules HC 1.6 | Part Number 6060‐1010‐00 |
Please contact Barbara Gallick bgallick@idexcorp.com or your local Weldon representative to obtain an RMA. An RMA is required for tracking purposes. Do not send units back to Weldon without an RMA number.
Please note that it is a violation of Federal Law to deliver a new motor vehicle or any item of motor vehicle equipment which is subject to a recall until the remedy has been performed.
If you believe there is a failure to remedy this defect without charge to the end user/owner of the vehicle and within a reasonable period of time, you may submit a written complaint to the Administrator, NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey Ave, SE, Washington, DC 20590, or call the Vehicle Safety Hotline 1‐888‐327‐4336 (TTY: 1‐800‐424‐9153) or go to https://www.safercar.gov.
Thanks for your prompt attention to this matter and continued support of Weldon.
Customer Care PH. 800.228.1161
Chronology :
On April 29, 2022, Weldon was contacted by an OEM that described an issue with the CAN connection when installing the Node. Weldon was able to isolate the issue to the inclusion of the additional termination resistor on the circuit board. Weldon stopped the shipment of additional units. On May 2, 2022, Weldon reviewed the technical details affecting the Node to confirm the issue, considered whether the same issue impacts any similar products and decided to conduct a safety recall. On May 3, 2022, Weldon determined a recent shipment of a variation of the Node sold under a private label and to a single customer was also impacted. Weldon confirmed with the customer these units had never been installed in a vehicle and remained in the customer’s inventory. Weldon secured all of the affected products from the customer’s inventory and on May 4, 2022 reworked those units to remove the additional resistor.

V‐MUX Hercules Hi Content Node HC1.5
22-001 Customer Care PH. 800.228.1161
May 6, 2022
IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL INFORMATION
NHTSA RECALL 22 E 037
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor
Vehicle Safety Act. Weldon, a division of Akron Brass Company , has decided a
safety related defect may exist with some Hercules HC 1.5 I/O Nodes, Weldon
Part Number 6060‐1000‐00 produced between January 21, 2022 and April 29,
2022. In the affected products, a termination resistor was installed on the
CAN ports. In this configuration and when combined with external resistors
located in a harness or with multiple nodes that do not have external resistors, CAN communication may become
compromised which can impact any of the electrical loads that are connected to the CAN, including vehicle lighting,
potentially increasing the risk of a crash.
Since V‐MUX systems are configured to match user needs, some installations may not present an issue at initial
acceptance test, but nevertheless should be remedied. You are receiving this notice because Weldon records indicate
you have received shipments of affected units. Please see attached list.
Weldon will remedy the units on the attached list free of charge by replacing them with Hercules HC 1.6 that has the
same functionality as the Hercules 1.5, but does not include the internal terminator resistor. The affected units must
be returned to Weldon under RMA to be converted to the HC 1.6. Once converted, they will go thru production test
before being returned. Nodes will require OEM programming which can be done by USB thumb drive. Warranty labor
of 0.5 hour per node at standard rates will be reimbursed to remove and replace a Hercules HC Node installed in a
customer’s vehicle.
Affected Part Hercules HC 1.5 Part Number 6060‐1000‐00
Replacement Part Hercules HC 1.6 Part Number 6060‐1010‐00
Please contact Barbara Gallick bgallick@idexcorp.com or your local Weldon representative to obtain an RMA. An RMA
is required for tracking purposes. Do not send units back to Weldon without an RMA number.
Please note that it is a violation of Federal Law to deliver a new motor vehicle or any item of
motor vehicle equipment which is subject to a recall until the remedy has been performed.
If you believe there is a failure to remedy this defect without charge to the end user/owner of the vehicle and within a
reasonable period of time, you may submit a written complaint to the Administrator, NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey Ave,
SE, Washington, DC 20590, or call the Vehicle Safety Hotline 1‐888‐327‐4336 (TTY: 1‐800‐424‐9153) or go to
http://www.safercar.gov.
Thanks for your prompt attention to this matter and continued support of Weldon.

Model : V-mux Hercules HC Node 1.5
Part No. : 6060-1000-00
Size : N/A
Function : NR
Descriptive Information : All of the parts under this part number are are part of the recall as they share the
same build issue. Similar parts with a different part number were built to
specification and are not part of the recall population. There are approximately
72 units delivered under a private label to a single OEM customer and
approximately 788 units delivered to other affected OEMs.
Production Dates : JAN 21, 2022 – APR 29, 2022
Description of Defect :
Description of the Defect : Weldon, a division of Akron Brass Company, produces Node, an electrical
multiplex module, under both a private label to a single customer as well as to
multiple OEMs for installation in emergency vehicles. In the affected products,
the Node contains a termination resistor installed on the node circuit board
instead of the termination resistor being installed only within the electrical
harness. If the vehicle network design has not accounted for this additional
resistor, it may reduce the bus resistance below the defined tolerance levels
and may lead to a loss of data on the CAN network. Installations with multiple
nodes are more likely to experience the condition.
FMVSS 1 : NR
FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : If the bus resistence is reduced, the CAN network connection could faill which
may interrupt the transfer of data on this connection. If the CAN network

Chronology :
On April 29, 2022, Weldon was contacted by an OEM that described an issue with the CAN connection when
installing the Node. Weldon was able to isolate the issue to the inclusion of the additional termination resistor
on the circuit board. Weldon stopped the shipment of additional units. On May 2, 2022, Weldon reviewed the
technical details affecting the Node to confirm the issue, considered whether the same issue impacts any
similar products and decided to conduct a safety recall. On May 3, 2022, Weldon determined a recent shipment
of a variation of the Node sold under a private label and to a single customer was also impacted. Weldon
confirmed with the customer these units had never been installed in a vehicle and remianed in the customer’s
inventory. Weldon secured all of the affected products from the customer’s inventory and on May 4, 2022
reworked those units to remove the additional resistor.
