## What is wrong

On certain vehicles with an optional 700 amp battery, the front "three\-cell" vent cap of the battery may become dislodged by the vehicle's inner hood panel. A dislodged vent cap would permit hydrogen gas to escape from the battery. In the presence of an ignition source the hydrogen could explode.  Correction: "three\-cell" vent caps will be replaced with individual battery cell caps.
