Defect
In the engine compartment, the air conditioner compressor wiring is routed improperly, causing it to contact the power supply wiring. Rust-prevention grease from the power supply wiring coupler seeps out and accumulates sand and debris. Under vibration, this contact damages the wiring insulation and, in the worst case, causes a short circuit that can result in a vehicle fire.
Corrective action
Inspect all vehicles. Where the compressor wiring contacts the power supply wiring, correct the routing and add a protective tube. Replace any damaged wiring with a conforming part.
