What is wrong
The generator electrical wiring is not protected against excessive current flow which may be caused by an electrical short circuit in the generator.
The risk
Should an electrical short circuit occur in thegenerator, the generator wiring harness would experience excessive current flow.under certain conditions, enough heat could be generated to ignite surroundingmaterials. If this occurs, an underhood fire could result with or without theengine running and without prior warning.
The fix
The generator wiring harness will be replaced with one that will open as a fuse would under certain excessive current flow conditions.
