What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. Starter assemblies were built with suspect plastic terminal blocks which could develop stress cracks subsequent to their installation onto the body of the starter. Separation of the terminal block from the starter body could potentially allow the un-fused positive terminal to come into contact with an adjacent surface, providing a path to ground.

Possible consequence

This condition could overheat the starter wiring, creating the potential for a vehicle fire.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the starter terminal block jumper harness.
