The problem
The electrical cable between the engine compartment and the generator compartment is routed too close to the left-hand engine exhaust manifold which causes the cable insulation to melt and possibly catch on fire.
The risk
A fire will endanger the life of vehicle occupants and/or surrounding structures.
The fix
Dealers will inspect, relocate, and secure the affected battery cable away from the engine exhaust manifold and replace any damaged cables.
