INSPECT STARTER WIRING HARNESS; REPAIR OR REPLACE IF NECESSARY
This Recall Campaign has been initiated because DCAG has determined that on affected vehicles (see VIN range below) the starter wiring harness may
be routed incorrectly. This routing could lead to chafing of the protective sleeve covering the starter wiring harness. Over time, such chafing has the
potential to wear through the protective sleeve and may expose the underlying starter wiring harness, which could lead to a short in the wiring and the
complete loss of function of the electrical system resulting in stalling that could lead to a vehicle crash and in the non operation of the supplemental
restraint system.
Please review the Effective Serial Number chart located below.
Prior to performing this Recall Campaign:
^
Please check VMI to insure the vehicle is involved and to determine if the vehicle has been previously repaired.
^
Please review the entire Recall Campaign bulletin.
Approximately 6,282 vehicles are affected.

Note:
Every vehicle in the VIN range may not be included in the campaign. VMI must always be checked before performing campaigns to verify that the
campaign is required on a specific vehicle. VMI always overrides the bulletin in reference to a specific vehicle's inclusion in a particular campaign.
Please also note that Recall and Service Campaigns do not expire and may also be performed on a vehicle with a vehicle status indicator.
