Defect
During recall repair work performed under notification number 5157 dated June 2, 2022, incorrect instructions in the battery cable inspection and replacement procedure resulted in non-conforming retaining clips being installed on the affected cables. Continued use allows engine vibration to wear through the cable insulation, exposing bare conductors that may short circuit. In the worst case, the engine may become unable to start.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the retaining clips with genuine parts and replace the battery cables with new units.
