What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

THE ELECTRICAL CABLE BETWEEN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THE GENERATOR COMPARTMENT IS ROUTED TOO CLOSE TO THE LEFT-HAND ENGINE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WHICH CAUSES THE CABLE INSULATION TO MELT AND POSSIBLY CATCH ON FIRE.

The risk

A FIRE WILL ENDANGER THE LIFE OF VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AND/OR SURROUNDING STRUCTURES.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT, RELOCATE, AND SECURE THE AFFECTED BATTERY CABLE AWAY FROM THE ENGINE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND REPLACE ANY DAMAGED CABLES.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
