What is wrong
On certain vehicles, the alternator cables may be routed in a way that allows contact with an engine heat shield, which could result in cable insulation damage. A positive alternator cable (with damaged insulation) which contacts a grounded component would cause an electrical short circuit. This could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary replace the alternator cables. In addition, the cable routing and securing will be modified to ensure sufficient clearance to the heat shield.
