2000 Saleen S281SC recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The accessory switch and associated wiring mounted in the passenger wheel well of certain vehicles CAN overheat when the current flow does not cease after the vehicle's ignition is turned to the "off" position.
💥 The risk
