What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: school and transit buses mounted on chassis equipped with an option for three batteries. The battery cables may not have been routed properly allowing the cable to be chafed or pinched.

Possible consequence

This condition can cause the positive cable to short out creating the potential for a fire.

Remedy

Dealers will plug the hole in the back of the battery compartment that is located directly behind the battery hold down clamp. A new hole will be added directly below the rearmost battery cable hole and the positive cable will be re-routed through the new hole.
