What NHTSA recorded

On the involved vehicles, the 110 volt ac conduit on the generator may contact the positive battery terminal, or the starter solenoid post, causing a short to ground of battery power. Also, the 110 volt ac conduit and cable insulation may chafe against the negative terminal, causing a short to ground of 110 volt ac power.

Remedy

Dealer will relocate the positive battery terminal and place a cover over the starter solenoid battery post. Also, the negative battery terminal post will be inverted so that the head end is up. This will be performed without charge to owner.
