Electrical system:wiring:other part
Defect Summary
It has been determined that the underfloor wire conduit attaching hanger assembly may fatigue and break under certain operating road conditions. Breaking of this assembly allows the wiring conduit to move freely at the unsupported end. This movement could cause chafing of the main power cables, creating the potential for an electrical short circuit. The wire conduit may also impact on the rear suspension "u" bolt attachment.
Corrective Action
Dealer will install a more rigid conduit support bracket and will reconfigure the wiring and add a positioning clamp which will eliminate the potential for impact with the suspension "u" bolt attachment assembly. Dealer will also add a new conduit support bracket which will eliminate potential for fatigue or breakage of the attaching hanger assembly.
