## 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.
