On certain trucks equipped with the optional Caterpillar Diesel Engine (LG5), the battery cable could come in contact with the exhaust pipe. The conduit and the nylon cable coating could degrade to the point where the copper wire strands of the cable are exposed.

Correction: Dealers will inspect the battery cable for proper routing and reroute the cable if necessary.
