The issue
The front main wiring harness, which is routed behind the maintenance free battery may chafe against the threads of the rear battery hold-down rod, exposing the wirind. This could lead top an electrical short and possibly result in an engine compartment fire.
Description (français)
Le faisceau de fills principal avant, qui passe derrière la batterie, peut s'user contre les pas de la barre de fixation arrière de la batterie et laisser à nu les fils métalliques. Cette mise à nu pourrait entraîner un court-circuit et provoquer peut-être un incendie dans le compartiment du moteur.
