The defect

Some of the involved vehicles were produced with an engine compartment wire assembly that may have been routed above the air conditioning suction hose. This hose may push up on the wiring harness causing it to contact the hood prop rod bracket attaching bolt. This could lead to penetration or chafing of the wiring insulation.

The remedy

Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, correct the wiring harness routing at no charge to owner.
