Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with a v8 engine. The positive battery cable may contact the starter motor housing and cause wear on the cable insulation. If the insulation wears through to the cable, it could create a short.

Why it matters: A short could result in a no start condition, cause the vehicle to stall without the ability to restart, or result in an engine compartment fire.

The fix: Dealers will reroute the positive battery cable to ensure adequate clearance. The recall began on May 6, 2009.
