What’s wrong with it?
A SHORT CIRCUIT COULD OCCUR AND RESULT IN A FIRE.
ON CERTAIN MOTOR COACHES, THE ELECTRICAL CABLE ATTACHED TO THE B+ STUD, WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE ENGINE CRADLE AND FOUND IN THE CURBSIDE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, MAY HAVE BEEN POSITIONED SO AS TO ALLOW THE CABLE TO RUB AGAINST THE GROUND STUD.

- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
