The issue
THE POWER JUNCTION STUD BLOCK WAS MOUNTED TO THE ENGINE TUNNEL WITH A LARGER THAN SPECIFIED SCREW. THIS DID NOT ALLOW FOR ADEQUATE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE SCREW HEAD AND THE RING TERMINALS WHICH ATTACH TO THE STUD. IF CONTACT SHOULD OCCUR, AN ELECTRICAL SHORT WILL RESULT AND POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE. CORRECTION: CORRECT FASTENERS WHICH ARE RECESSED INTO THE MOUNTING BLOCK WILL BE INSTALLED.
Description (français)
Le bloc à tiges de jonction électriques a été monté sur le tunnel du moteur avec une vis qui est plus grande que ne l'exigent les spécifications. En conséquence, il n'y a pas suffisamment de jeu entre la tête de la vis et les bornes à bagues montées sur les tiges. S'il devait y avoir contact, un court-circuit pourrait se produire et causer un incendie. Correction: Les bonnes vis, à tête recalée dans le bloc de montage, devront être installées.
