    Electrical System / 12v/24v/48v Battery / Cables

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    The ground wire from the battery ground on the engine to the frame rail was omitted. This constitutes a non-compliance to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment" and no. 121, "air brakes". An intermittent loss of electrical ground and subsequent dimming of the lighting system components or a possible false indication of anti-lock system function is the cause for the non-compliance.
