On certain vehicles, the high pressure hose of the air conditioning system is not properly installed, and therefore, the caulking part of the hose and the rear harness can interfere with each other. Vehicle body vibration etc. may cause the harness sheath to rupture, and in the worst case a short circuit could occur in the wiring, which could be fire damaged.
