The risk
A wiring harness incorrectly installed in the vehicles could lead to chafing on the supplementary heating console. The EBS/ABS and the vehicle’s outer lighting could fail. It would no longer be possible to switch the engine off. A short circuit with a heating effect could cause fire, even once the vehicle’s engine has been switched off.
