On certain 4x2 vehicles equipped with a 3.0L diesel engine, the battery harness may chafe against the right engine mount frame bracket which can result in a high resistance short. This could result in a loss of motive power or a vehicle fire which could increase the risk of a crash resulting in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the harness routing and ensure sufficient clearance to the right engine mounting bracket and replace any wiring harnesses with evidence of wear.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2015367.
