    RISK OF FIRE

    Defect

    The positive battery cable routed from the vehicle battery to the engine bay consists of one cable in the luggage compartment and one cable in the underbody. Both cable are connected by a screw connection and covered by a plastic cover. In single cases the plastic cover may have been fitted incorrectly during the vehicle production. Over time an incorrectly fitted cover could cause the screw connections to come loose leading to an increased resistance also humidity may affect the connection and cause high resistance and drop in current. This can lead to the vehicle not starting and in extreme cases the connection could over heat leading to the possibility of a fire in the luggage area.

    Remedy

    The clips on the battery will be checked the cover replaced and sealed.

    Remedy

    As an interim action recall all affected vehicles to check the tolerance on the brake calipers fitted to these axles. Where necessary the dealer will replace specific brake components and fit wheel nut indicators to act as heat/melting indicators. Full action recall all affected vehicle to have new brake calipers fitted.
