What’s wrong
Contact may occur between the wiring harness and the ABS modulator. An electrical connection may be created via the brake line between the ABS modulator and the vehicle ground. For this to occur the wiring harness must be frayed and must be in contact with the ABS modulator and the brake line must be electrically conductive. A conductive brake line can overheat and ultimately melt which can result in failure of a brake system circuit.
The fix
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary correct the routing of the wiring harness. If a wiring harness has been damaged the correct level of repair will be applied after advice is sought from the manufacturer.
