Details
What's wrong: An unused electrical connector for the optional 115 volt auxiliary power outlet option may become corroded and could short circuit.
Why it matters: If the fuse for this circuit does not blow, the connector could overheat and potentially catch fire.
The fix: Dealers will re-route and stow the 115 volt auxiliary power outlet connector and pull the 25 amp fuse to remove power from this unused circuit free of charge. The recall began on March 30, 2009.
