A recall of 2013 through 2015 Holden Colorado ute and Holden Colorado 7 SUVs are being recalled to fix a fault that may lead to fire.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is overseeing the Holden Colorado recall which affects vehicles built between the 4th of September 2013 and the 21st of January this year.

Affecting RG series Holden Colorado Crew Cab, Single Cab, Space Cab, and Colorado 7 SUV, the ACCC says the Alternator B+ Electrical Cable may have been assembled in contact with a steel bracket at the battery tray.

The recall notice saying that under certain driving conditions the insulation on the cable may wear, resulting in the potential for an electrical short circuit to develop between the cable and the bracket.

If the defect occurs, there is a risk that the cable insulation may melt or catch fire, which may pose a risk of injury to the vehicle occupant(s) and other road users.

Holden will write to all affected customers to notify them of the required action.
