What NHTSA recorded

Battery cap vents may be partially or completely blocked with plastic flashing. Consequence of defect: a build up of internal gas pressure could occur which could result in case rupture, particularly during post charging. Should a person be in the vicinity of the battery when the case ruptures, they may be injured by the released gases and/or acid.

Remedy

Rework batteries by probing both vent orifices to eliminate any vent obstruction.
