Long term contact could cause wire chafe, resulting in copper wire being exposed. If this condition occurs, the battery B+ wire could short to ground increasing the risk of a fire.
On certain trucks equipped with a 6.4L diesel engine, insufficient clearance of the battery positive (B+) wire to the right hand splash shield bolt may result in the battery B+ wire contacting the splash shield bolt.
Dealers will inspect the battery B+ wire location and, if necessary, reposition the wire. The recall began on April 3, 2007. Owners may contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673.
