  On certain vehicles operated where road salts are frequently used, excessive corrosion of the spare tire carrier assembly cable may cause the separation of the spare tire stowed under the vehicle.

Correction: dealers will inspect and, as required, either apply a corrosion resistance enhancement treatment to the spare tire carrier restraint cable, repair the cable and apply the corrosion resistance treatment, or replace the spare tire carrier assembly.

A plug-in battery charger failed. You may inspect it. It got hot and smoked, and i suppose was a fire hazard. The problem has not been confirmed nor inspected. There were no symptoms of the problem before the failure. - - - - i used the automotive charger to charge a battery after a light had been on overnight, discharging the battery. I removed the battery from the vehicle because the terminals might have been corroded. When i first put the charger on the battery it indicated full and did not start to recharge it, so i used jumper cables to charge the discharged battery from a good battery in my car and left the charger at 10 amps on the good battery at the same time so that battery would not become discharged. I left it to sit, figuring it would take several hours at that setting, and after about 5 minutes i saw smoke. Both 12v wires were hot and insulation burned or melted off. There is damage to the car where the wires rested on the painted plastic bumper and a plastic bit near the battery, and of course the charger is useless. I wrote to the manufacturer on march 28 to make them aware, and ask how to avoid it in the future, and ask if it can be repaired. I have not heard back. - - - - the user manual for this product is at http://manuals.Harborfreight.Com/manuals/60000-60999/60653.Pdf the current year model of this product is at https://www.Harborfreight.Com/10250a-12v-manual-charger-with-engine-start-60581.Html - - - - the charger is sold by harbor freight tools under the cen-tech brand.
