On affected machines there is a risk of one of the link leads to the regulator rectifier developing an electrical short. A bracket introduced at the start of production may interfere with the link lead resulting in damage to the outer protective sheathing and over time potentially exposing the wire. Contact between the bracket and the exposed wire may lead to an electrical short. In some cases the electrical short may cause an engine stall without warning.

Fix: The original Link Lead will be removed and replaced with a new identical part which will be routed so as to avoid possible contact with the bracket edge.
