The issue

On certain vehicles the Power Distribution Box was manufactured with insufficient torque applied to the nut of the main power feed-through stud. Insufficient torque on the subject nut could lead to: 1) electrical arcing of wires inside of the PD Box or, 2) an interrupted power supply to the vehicle's electrical system. Either of which could lead to a loss of vehicle electrical power and possibly vehicle control without warning. Correction: The vehicles will be inspected and the nut on the main power feed-through stud will be tightened to the proper specification.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, le boîtier de distribution électrique a été fabriqué sans que l'écrou du goujon de traversée de l'alimentation principale ait été serré au couple prévu, ce qui peut entraîner : 1) un amorçage d'arc au niveau des fils du boîtier, 2) l'interruption de l'alimentation du circuit électrique du véhicule. L'un ou l'autre peut se traduire par une panne de courant électrique complète et causer une perte de contrôle sans avertissement. Correction : Les véhicules devront être inspectés et l'écrou du goujon de traversée principal devra être resserré au couple prévu.
