What NHTSA recorded

A misrouting of the positive battery cable may exist. As a result, the positive battery cable insulation could be damaged from exhaust manifold heat. The wire in the cable may then contact and damage the metal brake tube.

Remedy

All involved vehicles will be inspected for positive battery cable misrouting and possible heat damage to the insulation. If necessary, the positive battery cable will be replaced or rerouted at no charge to owner.
