The issue
On certain trucks equipped with a DD15 or DD16 engine, the bolt attaching a rubber isolator to a support bracket may become loose, back out, and contact the starter cable. This could cause an electrical short, which could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a new bolt and isolator, and apply thread-locking fluid to the fastener.
Description (français)
Sur certains camions munis d'un moteur DD15 ou DD16, le boulon qui fixe un isolateur en caoutchouc à un support pourrait se desserrer, sortir et toucher au câble du démarreur. Cela pourrait causer un court-circuit et provoquer un incendie, endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront poser un nouveau boulon et un nouvel isolateur, et appliquer de l'enduit frein-filets sur le dispositif de fixation.
