Details

On certain vehicles with an optional 700 amp battery, the front "three-cell" vent cap of the battery may become dislodged by the vehicle's inner hood panel.

A dislodged vent cap would permit hydrogen gas to escape from the battery.

In the presence of an ignition source the hydrogen could explode.

Correction: "three-cell" vent caps will be replaced with individual battery cell caps.
