ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
- The defect
- North Central Emergency Vehicles (North Central) is recalling one 2021 Ford E-450 vehicle 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.
- What it can cause
- Overloaded electrical circuits can overheat, increasing the risk of fire.
- What the dealer does
- Weldon will update the firmware, free of charge. The owner notification letter is expected to be mailed June 2024. Owners may contact Akron Brass customer service at 1-800-228-1161 or North Central customer service at 1-320-395-2529.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 1 vehicle this is a small campaign: 100% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 67 times before this, most recently in April 2024 as 24V267000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 27 complaints with NHTSA, 19 of them before this campaign was filed. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in May 2021, 3 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V793000 (engine), 24V097000 (steering), 22V089000 (steering), 20V795000 (engine).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by North Central Emergency Vehicles with NHTSA on June 6, 2024 as campaign 24V406000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
