Details

What's wrong: Due to a machining irregularity, the bolt/washer surface on the positive battery terminal cable end may allow for a gap to occur in the contact area of the terminal. This can result in a voltage drop that may cause difficulty starting the vehicle and could cause damage to the engine control module.

Why it matters: This issue can cause the engine to stop running while the vehicle is in motion at low speed with a difficult or no start increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the positive battery terminal cable end with a new one free of charge. The safety recall began pn November 29, 2010.
