What NHTSA recorded

Some of the suspect vehicles may have been produced with the positive battery cable incorrectly indexed at the attachment to the starter solenoid. Cable insulation damage could occur due to metal on metal contact during maximum engine roll conditions. An electrical short may develop between the battery cable and a brake tube. A hole could be formed in the brake tube, resulting in loss of brake fluid and reduced braking capability.

Remedy

Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, re-index the starter positive battery cable attachment at no cost to owner.
