What was wrong
Defect
THE POWER CABLES LEADING FROM THE BATTERIES OF THE INVOLVED VEHICLES ARE SUBJECT TO A CHAFING CONDITION, WHICH, IF UNDETECTED OR NOT CORRECTED CAN CAUSE WEAR TO THE CABLE INSULATION.
Manufacturer remedy
TO PREVENT CHAFING OF THE BATTERY CABLES, THE DEALER WILL INSTALL FOUR BATTERY CLAMPS, TWO EACH ON THE BATTERY HOLD DOWN BAR AND THE FUEL BOLSTER BRACKET, AND INSTALL PIECES OF RUBBER HOSE INSULATION ONTO THE LARGER POWER CABLES. THIS WILL BE DONE AT NO EXPENSE TO OWNER.
