The issue

On certain vehicles, the positive battery cable may come in contact with the #2 cross member attaching bolt. During normal vehicle operation, the insulation may chafe, which could result in an electrical short. If a short occurs, possible heat or fire damage to the cable and/or other components, either under-hood or near other possible ground points on the vehicle, may occur. Correction: Dealers will relocate the positive battery cable.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, le câble positif de la batterie pourrait entrer en contact avec le boulon de fixation de la traverse n° 2. Pendant que le véhicule fonctionne, l'isolant pourrait s'user par frottement, ce qui pourrait causer un court circuit. Si un court circuit se produisait, le câble ou d'autres pièces (sous le capot ou près d'autres points de mise à la terre possibles) pourraient être endommagés par la chaleur ou le feu. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront déplacer le câble positif de la batterie.
