The issue

On certain vehicles, movement of the primary battery ground cable could be restricted. This could cause the eyelet on the cable to fail due to fatigue. If this were to happen, the engine crank circuit could find an alternative path to ground through the engine harness. The ground wire in the harness would not be able to carry the amperage associated with the cranking circuit, and the insulation on the engine harness ground wire could melt, which could result in a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace and reroute the battery ground cable.
