2.0 Detailed Defect Analysis
A precise root cause analysis has identified a component specification failure as the primary defect. This failure is centered on a critical electrical assembly.
The root cause is a manufacturing defect; specifically, the screws utilized on the cover plate of the rear fuse box are too long.
The direct physical impact of this defect is that the oversized screws make contact with the adjacent wiring harness. This contact causes physical damage to the wiring harness, which is the primary failure point identified in this incident. This breach in the wiring harness's integrity creates multiple vectors for critical system failure and presents a significant fire risk.
