On certain Volvo 740 and 760 equipped with air conditioning, the engine wiring harness might chafe against an air conditioning pipe which could cause a short circuit and malfunctioning of the electrical system. This could cause charring of the insulation and result in a possible engine compartment fire. Correction: Wiring harness will be relocated and secured by a new bracket and clamp.
