What's wrong?
The V-mux Hercules HC Node 1.5 in these 2021-2023 Ferrara Inferno and Igniter vehicles is a multiplex input and output module. In plain terms, it helps the vehicle's electronic controls share commands over the CAN network, the communication line that lets equipment such as emergency lighting receive the right signal. The lighting system depends on that network communication staying clear.
The defect is on the printed circuit board inside the node. A bill of material error led to an extra termination resistor being installed on that board. That resistor changes the electrical behavior of the communication circuit and disrupts CAN network messages. When the messages are interrupted, the vehicle lighting can fail instead of responding to the operator's controls.
There is no warning sign before failure. An operator would first notice the issue when the affected lighting stops working or does not respond during use. The remedy component has the extra termination resistor removed from the circuit board.
