Details

What's wrong: The affected vehicles were previously repaired using a wiring harness that is not compatible with the vehicle circuit polarity.

Why it matters: As a result, the fuse is located in the output circuit rather than in the intended input power feed circuit, and may not offer the intended protection in the event of an electrical short to ground.

The fix: Dealers will install a new wiring harness, or replace the mating electrical component. The recall began on February 18, 2008.
