The issue

On certain trucks, the right side stabilizing rod which spans the cooling module and the right frame rail bracket was inadvertently designed too close in proximity to the alternator positive electrical terminal post. In the event the protective rubber boot on the terminal post was removed or cracked and the engine mounts allowed the engine to rock, electrical arcing could occur, which may ignite a fire in the engine compartment. Correction: Dealers will replace the right radiator stabilizing rod and corresponding mounting bracket with updated versions.

Description (français)

Sur certains camions, la tige stabilisatrice de droite qui s'étend du module de refroidissement au support de rail de châssis droit a été, par erreur, placée trop près de la borne électrique positive de l'alternateur. Si jamais la gaine de protection en caoutchouc de la borne était enlevée ou fissurée et que les supports de moteur permettaient au moteur de balancer, des arcs électriques pourraient être produits, ce qui pourrait provoquer un incendie dans le compartiment moteur. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer la tige stabilisatrice de radiateur droite et le support de fixation correspondant par des pièces d'une version mise à jour.
