Electrical Defects and Hazards
Electrical problems may occur when a wiring system is faulty in some manner. This may include:
- Unshielded wires
- Broken connectors
- Broken wires
- Electrical shorts
In many cases, wires become a hazard when a car is old and the wires wear out. In other cases, wires are faulty to begin with, usually due to a design or manufacturing defect. In either case, the automobile’s manufacturer may be liable for any injuries that result should these wires cause fires.
When a safety problem is widespread, the automobile’s manufacturer will issue a recall and will fix an automobile’s wiring problems at no charge. If your automobile is still under warranty and you discover a wiring problem, this will usually be covered by the warranty. However, for some innocent drivers and passengers, such recalls come too late, as serious injuries may have already occurred.
