The defect

Brake line may develop a hole or leak by shorting against a bare, live electrical line. The electrical conductor could lose insulation due to melting by muffler heat.

The remedy

Recalled vehicles will have the generator starting line repositioned. Presently the wire IS in a common harness with the brake line and it runs too close to the muffler. Also, both the electrical wire and the brake line will be insulated.
