Recall 1994179

The issue

AN UNUSED HARNESS CONNECTOR FOR VEHICLE ACCESSORIES MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY ROUTED UNDER THE FLOOR CARPET IN THE LEFT KICK PANEL. SALT, WATER OR SNOW CARRIED INTO THE VEHICLE BY THE DRIVER'S SHOES MAY PENETRATE THE CARPET AND REPEATEDLY DRIP ONTO THE CONNECTOR. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE FORMATION OF AN ICE BRIDGE BETWEEN THE TERMINALS, POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ELECTRICAL SHORT INSIDE THE CONNECTOR. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, THE CONNECTOR COULD HEAT UP, CREATING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE FIRE. CORRECTION: UNUSED CONNECTOR WILL BE RELOCATED.

Description (français)

Il se peut qu'un connecteur de faisceaux inutilisé ait été incorrectement acheminé sous le tapis du seuil de la porte gauche. Le sel, l'eau et la neige transportés par le conducteur à l'intérieur du véhicule peuvent traverser le tapis et mouiller le connecteur. Il pourrait alors se former entre les bornes un pont de glace qui pourrait faire court-circuiter le connecteur. Si cela se produit, le connecteur peut surchauffer et créer un risque d'incendie. Correction: Le connecteur inutilisé devra être installé ailleurs.
