The issue

On certain vehicles, a potential chaffing point may exist between a heat shield on the engine and the wiring for the alternator. The interference is only present with the combination of a Caterpillar C11/C13 engine and the optional Leece Neville brushless alternator which is longer than any other alternators installed by Kenworth. Correction: Dealers will replace the alternator to a brush-type alternator that is shorter in length and provides the necessary clearance to all surrounding components.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, il pourrait y avoir un point d'usure potentiel entre un bouclier thermique sur le moteur et les fils de l'alternateur. L'interférence n'est présente qu'avec le moteur Caterpillar C11/C13 combiné à l'alternateur optionnel sans balai Leece Neville, qui est plus long que tout autre alternateur installé par Kenworth. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer l'alternateur actuel par un alternateur avec balais qui est plus court et qui donne le dégagement nécessaire à toutes les pièces se trouvant autour.
