Weldon Division of Akron Brass (Akron Brass) is recalling certain V-mux Hercules HC Node 1.5 electrical multiplex modules, with part number 6060-1000-00.
An additional resistor was inadvertently installed on the printed circuit board, which can disrupt CAN network communication and cause vehicle lighting to fail.
