Electrical system: 12v/24v/48v battery

Summary

17289 - Service Update. On some vehicles the heat shrink tube length on the battery positive terminal is shorter than design intent. If a customer/dealer technician is working near the positive battery terminal under the hood, contacting bare metal on the terminal and ground could potentially create an arc. Dealers will add a section of heat shrink to the positive battery cable.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 16 complaints in the electrical category.
