Reported risk: On certain vehicles equipped with an option for three batteries, improper routing of the battery cables places the positive cable immediately behind the battery hold down clamp. When the batteries are pushed back into the battery compartment, the positive cable may be chafed or pinched causing the cable to short out and creating a potential risk of fire. Correction: The hole in the back of the battery compartment that is located behind the battery hold down clamp will be plugged. A new hole will be added directly below the rearmost battery cable hole and the positive cable will be rerouted through the new hole.
