The defect

An engine oil pan retaining bolt which is too short may have been fitted during production. This retaining bolt also serves as a fixing point for the alternator/starter cable duct at the engine block. If the vehicle is involved in a collision and the cable duct is not properly attached, it could be dislodged and create a short circuit involving the unfused cables.
