## What is wrong

THE ELECTRICAL CABLE BETWEEN THE STARTER AND THE          ALTERNATOR CAN RUB AGAINST THE BRAKE FLUID PIPE ATTACHED TO THE LEFT INNER       WHEELHOUSE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.                                                                                                                             CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: RUBBING WILL EVENTUALLY DAMAGE THE CABLE INSULATION AND   RESULT IN A SHORT CIRCUIT WHICH MAY CAUSE A FIRE.


## The remedy

THE CABLE CONNECTION AT THE ALTERNATOR WILL BE ADJUSTED AND   THE CABLE REPOSITIONED TO ELIMINATE RUBBING.
