What can fail

On certain trucks with the optional Caterpillar Diesel Engine, the battery cable may touch the exhaust pipe. Heat can degrade the cable's protective coating, exposing copper wires that could short against the hot pipe and ignite the cable coating.

What the fix does

Dealers will inspect the battery cable routing and reroute it if needed to prevent contact with the exhaust pipe.
