Risk Description

The product poses a risk of fire because if the terminal and wire are incorrectly inserted in the ACG stator plug, the resistance of the contact in the terminal exceeds the standard value necessary, generating heat in the connection and resulting in the separation of the two parts. Once separation occurs, the generation of heat accelerates, melting the plug, which causes the motor to stop or the vehicle to catch fire.
