1989 Chance Rt50

Component

Electrical System:Battery

Consequence of Defect

battery cables and wire looms can rub against front roadside mud flap bracket, and/or one of the battery cable clamp bolts.

Corrective Action

this creates the potential for electrical shorts and afire hazard.

Recall Notes

modify mud flap bracket and/or cable clamp bolt to avoid interference with battery cables.

1989 Chance Rt50

Component

Electrical System:Battery

Consequence of Defect

insulation on a battery cable can chafe, shorting the conductor to ground.

Corrective Action

this creates a potential fire hazard.

Recall Notes

repair or replace conductor.
