This may allow development of a high resistance short circuit in the connector, which could eventually lead to a fire.  Correction:  Dealer will inspect the ABS control module connector for electrolyte damage, and replace the connector as necessary.  All affected vehicles will also have a shield installed to protect the connector from future battery electrolyte leakage.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"D20","part_number":null,"units":4392,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Freins","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules, des batteries provenant du marché secondaire pourraient laisser fuir l'électrolyte qu'elles contiennent sur le connecteur du module de commande des freins ABS, ce qui pourrait compromettre l'étanchéité du connecteur; un court-circuit à haute résistance pourrait alors se produire dans le connecteur; ce court-circuit pourrait éventuellement provoquer un incendie. Correction : Le concessionnaire devra inspecter le connecteur pour s'assurer que l'électrolyte ne l'a pas endommagé; il devra le remplacer si nécessaire.
