Reported risk: THE PROTECTIVE COVER FOR THE UNDERHOOD FUSE CENTRE MAY HAVE BEEN OMITTED ON THESE VEHICLES. WITHOUT THIS COVER, THE POSITIVE TERMINAL BOLT ON THE FUSE BLOCK IS EXPOSED, AND MAY COME IN CONTACT WITH THE INSULATED NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE. PROLONGED CONTACT MAY RESULT IN ABRASION OF THE NEGATIVE CABLE INSULATION AND COULD CAUSE AN EXTREMELY HIGH CURRENT SHORT CIRCUIT BETWEEN THE POSITIVE TERMINAL AND THE NEGATIVE CABLE. THIS CURRENT FLOW COULD CAUSE ARCING AND RESULT IN AN UNDERHOOD FIRE. CORRECTION: A PROTECTIVE COVER WILL BE INSTALLED IF NECESSARY.
