Recall 2018589

The issue

On certain vehicles, a wiring connector located under the driver's side carpet may become contaminated by salt water and corrode over time. This could cause a short-circuit that may cause the connector to overheat and melt and potentially lead to a fire if combustible objects are nearby. A vehicle fire could result in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will relocate and replace the wiring connector terminal to a higher position and replace the rear display harness with a new one.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, un raccord électrique sous le tapis du conducteur pourrait être contaminé par de l'eau salée, et se corroder au fil du temps. Cela pourrait causer un court-circuit qui pourrait faire surchauffer et fondre le raccord, et causer un incendie si des objets combustibles se trouvaient à proximité. L'incendie d'un véhicule pourrait blesser quelqu'un ou endommager des biens matériels. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront déplacer plus haut et remplacer la borne du raccord électrique; ils devront aussi remplacer le faisceau d'affichage arrière par un nouveau faisceau.
