You know that something similar _really _happened to one V-22 Osprey !?

They have hydraulics for every single propeller blade which results in
a very narrow structure in the propeller hubs. By accident one
hydraulic tube was rubbing against an electrical cable and started
leaking. The resulting loss of hydraulic pressure was accidentally
misinterpreted !! by some computer on board which indicated an error to
the pilots where the reboot of a certain computer system is listed as
the required procedure.
After restart this computer, which apparently is tied to the FCM,
accidentally misinterpreted !! the current flight attitude and lead to
actuator controls which crashed the plane :-((
