The issue
THE ALTERNATOR ROTOR MAGNET MAY CONTACT THE STATOR CAUSING IT TO SHEAR ITS MOUNMTING BOLTS AND RENDER THE ALTERNATOR INOPERATIVE. THESE MOUNTING BOLTS ALSO LIMIT THE TRAVEL OF CERTAIN TRANSMISSION GEARS. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS THIS WOULD ALLOW IMPROPER TRANSMISSION GEAR ENGAGEMENT WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE DRIVE TRAIN AND REAR WHEEL TO LOCK UP AND RESULT IN ACCIDENT.
Description (français)
L'aimant du rotor de l'alternateur peut frotter contre le stator ce qui provoque le cisaillement des boulons de montage et entraîne une panne d'alternateur. Ces boulons de montage limitent aussi la course de certains engrenages de transmission ce qui, dans certaines circonstances, empêche le passage correct des vitesses, entraîne le blocage de la transmission et de la roue arrière et peut provoquer un accident.
