What's wrong?
The V-mux Hercules HC Node 1.5 on the 2021 Farber Fccc Xc is an electrical control module on the vehicle's CAN network. The CAN network is the communication line that lets control modules send commands to connected electrical loads, including vehicle lighting. When the network signal is clean, the lighting circuits receive the messages they need to operate.
On this vehicle, a termination resistor was added to the printed circuit board because of a bill of material error. A resistor controls electrical resistance in a circuit, but this one was not supposed to be there. When it is combined with resistors in the wiring harness or with other nodes, CAN communication becomes compromised. That disruption can stop commands from reaching lighting loads, causing vehicle lighting to fail.
There is no warning sign before failure. The lights can quit when the network communication is disrupted, so the defect is inside the control electronics rather than a bulb, switch, or fuse you can inspect from outside.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.
What's the safety risk?
Inoperative vehicle lighting reduces visibility and increases the risk of a crash, especially when other drivers need to see the vehicle's position or signals. If your VIN is included, schedule the dealer repair and use extra caution until the lighting has been confirmed fixed. Repair is free at any franchised Farber dealer.
