Details

What's wrong: The battery cable is routed too close to a sharp edge located on top of a shelf installed over the driveshaft.

Why it matters: This can cause abrasion to the battery cable insulation, leading to an electrical short and possibly a fire.

The fix: Dealers will re-route the cable away from the sharp edge location. This service will be performed for you free of charge. The recall began on May, 26 2009.
