The issue
On certain vehicles fitted with optional in-cab batteries, fuel lines may contact the cab power harness, resulting in chafe damage that could present a fire hazard. Correction: Dealers will reroute and secure the fuel lines.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules équipés de batteries optionnelles situées dans la cabine, les canalisations de carburant pourraient toucher au faisceau d'alimentation en électricité de la cabine, ce qui causerait une usure par frottement qui pourrait présenter un risque d'incendie. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront faire passer les canalisations de carburant ailleurs et les fixer solidement.
