Issued October 14, 1998
Issue
Hazard description
On certain vehicles, the engine starter power cables could chafe against the transmission and short to ground through the transmission components, including the engine cooler line. The high current in the starter cable could damage adjacent transmission cooler lines and cause a fluid leak. The combination of leaking transmission fluid and starter cable electrical discharge could start a fire fueled by the leaking fluid. Correction: vehicles will be inspected and starter cable will be rerouted if necessary.
