I've just updated Node-Red for my Home Assistant system and I now get alerts for the Service Call node mentioning that there are invalid properties: data.  
The Properties dialog also has a red outline. This is new, never seen it before, perhaps it's a new requirement.

Try opening the node and resaving and deploying. If you look back at some of the comments on the new version of nr you will see that there was an issue with some nodes and default entries.

If deploying doesn't help, then it seems you need to fill something in in the properties field, whatever that is. Hopefully the help text for the node will tell you what is needed.
