Kme SS: Electrical
Affects Kme SS · 2015 — about 2 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain vehicles built with a Cummins ISX12 engine, the cab lift hydraulic hoses may not have been routed or secured properly. Over time, if the hoses were to come in contact with the starter power stud or connected ring terminals, the hoses could wear. This may cause fluid leakage and/or electrical arcing between the starter power stud and the damaged hose, creating an increased risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the vehicles to ensure proper cab lift hose routing and clearance, replace damaged hoses, and add hose chafe guards where necessary.
