The issue
On certain vehicles equipped with an anti-lock brake system (ABS), the ABS module remains powered on when the vehicle is turned off. If moisture were to enter the module, over time, an electrical short could occur, which could increase the risk of an underhood fire causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will install a relay in the vehicle’s main junction box to ensure the ABS module is powered off upon the vehicle being turned off.
Description (français)
Le module ABS de certains véhicules pourrait demeuré sous tension lorsque le moteur du véhicule est arrêté. Si de l'humidité devait pénétrer dans le module cela pourrait, avec le temps, causer un court-circuit qui pourrait augmenter les risques d'un feu sous le capot et possiblement causer des blessures ou des dommages matériels. Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires doivent installer un relais dans la boîte de jonction principale pour s'assurer que le module ABS s'éteint lorsque le moteur est éteint.
