The risk
The electrical wiring harness for the radiator fan in the rear left of the engine compartment may be positioned next to a carbon-fibre heat shield. Movement can cause damage to the wiring harness or the insulation of individual wires which may eventually cause a short circuit. The short circuit may cause a fire in the vehicle even some time after the vehicle has been switched off.
