Details

What's wrong: On certain trucks equipped with a 6.4L diesel engine, insufficient clearance of the battery positive (b+) wire to the right hand splash shield bolt may result in the battery b+ wire contacting the splash shield bolt.

Why it matters: Long term contact could cause wire chafe, resulting in copper wire being exposed. If this condition occurs, the battery b+ wire could short to ground increasing the risk of a fire.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the battery b+ wire location and, if necessary, reposition the wire. The recall began on April 3, 2007.
