The issue
On certain vehicles, the windshield wipers could interfere with the main cab wiring harness causing one or more wires to eventually wear through. This could result in a short circuit of certain wires which would cause the engine to stop. If this were to occur when the vehicle was travelling at a high rate of speed and manouevering through traffic there would be the potential for a crash. Correction: Main cab wiring harness routing will be modified.
