Defect
On route buses, electrical wiring inside the engine compartment is improperly routed, allowing the wiring to contact the edge of a wiring retaining bracket. Continued use in this condition may cause the wiring to short circuit. In the worst case, the engine may stall and be unable to restart.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the routing of the electrical wiring inside the engine compartment. Where clearance between the wiring and the retaining bracket is insufficient, install protective material on the wiring and bracket. Any wiring found to be damaged must be repaired.
