What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. Some of these vehicles were built with a misrouted positive battery cable assembly that could come in contact with the steering shaft universal joint.

Possible consequence

Over time this contact could cause a wear-through of the cable assembly convoluted conduit and cable insulation exposing the wire core and resulting in intermittent electrical shorting. This could result in erratic movement of the voltage gage, total battery discharge in a few hours, or the cable insulation and conduct could ignite if enough current is discharged at the point of contact, resulting in an underhood fire.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect the positive battery cable for proper routing and re-route the cable in necessary. The cable will also be inspected for wear of the conduit and cable insulation, and will be replaced if necessary. Owner notification began april 23, 2001.
