What is wrong
THE POWER CABLES LEADING FROM THE BATTERIES OF THE INVOLVED VEHICLES ARE SUBJECT TO A CHAFING CONDITION, WHICH, IF UNDETECTED OR NOT CORRECTED CAN CAUSE WEAR TO THE CABLE INSULATION.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
TO PREVENT CHAFING OF THE BATTERY CABLES, THE DEALER WILL INSTALL FOUR BATTERY CLAMPS, TWO EACH ON THE BATTERY HOLD DOWN BAR AND THE FUEL BOLSTER BRACKET, AND INSTALL PIECES OF RUBBER HOSE INSULATION ONTO THE LARGER POWER CABLES. THIS WILL BE DONE AT NO EXPENSE TO OWNER.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
