Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

REVERSE POLARITY HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE BATTERY AS WELL AS PROPERTY DAMAGE AND PERSONAL INJURY. A VEHICLE’S BATTERY MAY BURST UNDER THESE CONDITIONS.

CERTAIN VALUCRAFT 8 AND 10 GAUGE BOOSTER CABLES IMPORTED AND SOLD BY AUTOZONE AS AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT USED TO JUMP START AUTOMOBILES AND OTHER MOTORIZED EQUIPMENT INCLUDING MOTORCYCLES, ATVS, BOATS, AND LAWN EQUIPMENT HAVING DISCHARGED BATTERIES.

THESE BATTERY CABLES ARE EITHER STAMPED 8GA OR 10GA.

SOME OF THESE CABLES WERE ASSEMBLED INCORRECTLY.

ON ONE OF THE CABLES, THE RED CLAMP WAS ATTACHED TO THE NEGATIVE SIDE AND THE BLACK CLAMP WAS ATTACHED TO THE POSITIVE SIDE.

THIS MAY RESULT IN REVERSE POLARITY.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
