What's wrong?
The Weldon 8 x 16 Input-Output node on 2022-2023 Alexis Fire Equipment Fire Apparatus is an electronic control module in the truck's electrical system. It takes commands from switches and other controls, then turns output pins on or off so body equipment receives power when it is supposed to.
On affected trucks, the node's electrical current sensing calibration was not produced to specification. If a short circuit or wiring failure occurs, the firmware does not shut off the output pin as designed. That leaves the circuit powered during a fault and can overload the electrical circuit instead of isolating the problem.
There is no warning sign before failure. A driver or fleet technician should not expect a dashboard alert, unusual sound, or visible symptom before the node fails to shut off the affected output.
Who's affected?
Spans the 2022 and 2023 model years, with wiring listed as the affected component for both.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
Overloaded electrical circuits can overheat and raise the risk of fire. There is no warning sign before the circuit overheats, so schedule the firmware update soon and ask Alexis Fire Equipment how the apparatus should be handled until the repair is complete. Repair is free at any franchised Alexis Fire Equipment dealer.
