The problem
MAXI-METAL INC. (MAXI-METAL) is recalling certain 2020-2023 MAXI/Freightliner and MAXI/Kenworth trucks equipped with Weldon 8X16 Input-Output nodes. In the event of a short circuit or wiring failure, the firmware in the node may fail to shut off the output pin, resulting in overloaded electrical circuits.
The risk
Overloaded electrical circuits can overheat, increasing the risk of fire.
The fix
MAXI-METAL will work with Weldon to update the firmware, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 22, 2024. Owners may contact MAXI-METAL customer service at 1-418-228-6637.
