Issue
On certain school buses equipped with a MaxxForce 7 engine, the positive alternator cable may rub against the engine control module mounting bracket. Continued contact could wear through the alternator cable's insulation, which could cause an electrical short circuit. An electrical short could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect the alternator cable for signs of abrasion damage and install tie straps to route the cable away from the engine control module mounting bracket.
