What NHTSA recorded

A misrouting of the positive battery cable may exist. This may cause damage to the positive battery cable insulation due to rubbing on the right front metal brake tube. Should this occur, the wire in the cable may contact and damage the brake tube, causing loss of brake fluid.

Remedy

Dealer will inspect all vehicles for misrouting of the positive battery cable and abrasive damage to the cable insulation. If necessary, battery cable will be replaced at no charge to owner.
