Reported risk: Chafing may occur where two cables pass through a grommet in the front bulkhead. This could result in a short circuit and fire risk. Remedy: Recall affected vehicles. De-energise the 6 sq.mm. battery positive cable which backs up the engine management system by cutting it at both ends and taping it to the cable. An alternative arrangement is being made to back up the engine management system.
