In certain loaded conditions the vehicle jack may fail causing the vehicle to drop during a wheel change operation.

The battery harness may not be sufficiently secured. There is a chance if not noticed during servicing that the insulation of the harness could chaff and expose the wiring. This could then generate sparks and excessive heat within the engine bay.
