- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2020090

- Reported: 2020\-03\-05
- Component: Electrical
- Notification type: Safety Mfr

## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain trucks, the battery cables to the jump\-start terminal may be too long. As a result, the cables could contact and chafe against the left\-front suspension leaf spring. If this happens, a short circuit could occur and cause the positive cable to overheat or melt.

Note: This recall only affects trucks with a left\-hand under\-hood battery jumper terminal.

Safety Risk:

An overheated or melted battery cable could create the risk of a fire.

Corrective Actions:

The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer for an inspection of the jump\-start terminal cables. If the cables are too long, they will be replaced.
