D-Max MY15 has the main cable secured to a little "post" attached to the battery tray.   :icon_thumleft:  :icon_thumleft:  :icon_thumleft:

GM Holden has issued a safety recall notice affecting most Colorado utes and Colorado 7 SUVs sold since late 2013 because of the risk they could catch fire.

In all, more than 26,000 customers are affected and Holden has stopped deliveries of vehicles built between September 4, 2013 and January 21 this year.

The recall, which covers MY2014 and MY2015 versions of Holden's Thai-made RG Colorado and RG Colorado 7 vehicles with VINs ranging between MMU145DK0EH600244 and MMU156FK0FH616228, follows customer reports of five "thermal incidents".

"The Alternator B+ electrical cable may have been assembled in contact with a steel bracket at the battery tray," says Holden's recall notice on the federal government's Product Safety Recalls Australia website.

If it's a bug, it would have to be in the Holden thread  :laughing7:
