The issue

THE ALTERNATOR OUTPUT WIRE MAY NOT BE TIGHTLY CONNECTED TO THE POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX. THIS COULD RESULT IN OVERHEATING OF THE CONNECTION DUE TO HIGH ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE AND A POSSIBLE UNDERHOOD FIRE. CORRECTION: DISTRIBUTION BOX CONNECTION WILL BE INSPECTED AND TIGHTENED. VEHICLES WITH VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE PLASTIC BOX HOUSING WILL HAVE THE UNDERHOOD HARNESS THAT INCLUDES THE POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX REPLACED.

Description (français)

La connexion du fil de sortie de l'alternateur du boîtier de distribution électrique peut être mal serrée et surchauffer à cause d'une résistance électrique trop élevée, ce qui peut causer un feu sous le capot. Correction: le boîtier de distribution doit être inspecté et la connexion resserrée. Si le logement en plastique du boîtier est manifestement endommagé, il faudra remplacer le faisceau du capot qui comprend le boîtier.
