Reason for recall: It is possible for the engine wiring harness to chaff on a security bracket. If this is allowed to continue this could result in a short circuit in the starter motor circuit which can cause the starter to operate whilst the vehicle is being driven. This will cause the starter to overheat and possibly cause a fire.
