Park outside Electrical system

Overheating could lead to a fire, even while the vehicle is not in use.

The insulated bulkhead connector for the positive battery cable may have been incorrectly attached to the trunk floor panel, which can lead to a loosening of the bolt connection. As it loosens, an increase in electrical resistance at this cable connection is possible and could cause the cable connection to overheat.

What to do: Park away from your house, garage or anything that could catch fire, until it is repaired.
