The problem
The insulation of the battery cable, because of its position, rubs against some of the engine wiring components. Once the insulation is worn through, the battery could rapidly discharge.
The fix
Dealer will install a new engine harness retainer bracket, protective conduit, cable clips, a cable tie strap and will reposition the terminals on the ground stud on all involved vehicles.
