The problem
An in-line fuse to the auxiliary battery was omitted.
The risk
If a short occurred in the power line from the battery without the presence of over-current protection, the 12 volt line can overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix
Dealers will install an in-line fuse to the auxiliary battery.
