Park outside Service brakes

An engine compartment fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury.

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) module may leak brake fluid internally and cause an electrical short, which can result in an engine compartment fire while parked or driving.

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

Fire risk Electrical

An overheated accessory outlet increases the risk of fire.

The 12V accessory socket outlet may have been over-tightened during installation, possibly disabling the thermal fuse and allowing the outlet to overheat with prolonged use, such as by using the Tire Mobility Kit air compressor to inflate a tire.

What to do: Park away from buildings and book the repair now.
