Background:  The aircraft manufacturer has advised of the discovery of potential chafing between the electrical wire feeder bundle and the right side partition wall separating the cabin from the lavatory at frames 22/23.  This chafing may damage the feeder bundle and cause a sustained smoke-generating short-circuit between the feeder and the partition wall made of resistive composite material.  Smoke and a difficult-to-localize short-circuit may result in a hazardous situation.
