The hazard
On certain B600 and B700 vehicles, the battery power junction block mounted on the right front fender apron might be susceptible to road splash and corrosion from calcium chloride and sodium chloride. This could result in eventual fracture of the main terminal or other terminals at the junction block causing the loss of vehicle power supply or loss of power to a particular system such as the engine, power steering or hydraulic brake boost. Correction: Dealers will replace the junction block, main power terminal from the starter or starter relay and terminals at the existing block. The hydraulic brake circuit will be modified by bypassing the junction block. New terminals will be made from an alloy material more resistant to salt corrosion.
