Recall 2002026

The issue

On certain pickup trucks, the alternator wire may be improperly attached, leaving it susceptible to a possible loss of clamp load under certain circumstances. If the alternator connection becomes loose, the high resistance circuit may overheat the power distribution center (PDC), possibly causing a vehicle fire. Correction: Dealers will inspect the installation of the alternator wire connection to the PDC and if necessary re-position the wire and re-tighten the attaching nut if necessary.

Description (français)

Sur certaines camionnettes, le câble de l'alternateur peut avoir été mal posé et le connecteur risque de se desserrer. Si la connexion électrique de l'alternateur venait à prendre du jeu, le centre de distribution électrique du circuit haute résistance peut surchauffer, ce qui risque de causer un incendie. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter la connexion du câble de l'alternateur sur le centre de distribution électrique et, le cas échéant, refaire l'installation du câble et resserrer l'écrou de fixation.
