The issue
On certain trucks equipped with a CT 11 or 13 engine, the positive alternator cable may rub against the high pressure power steering hose. Continued contact could wear through the alternator cable's insulation, which could cause an electrical short circuit. An electrical short could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a bracket to route the alternator wires away from the power steering hose.
Description (français)
Sur certains camions munis d'un moteur CT 11 ou 13, le câble positif de l'alternateur pourrait frotter contre la canalisation haute pression de la direction assistée. Un contact continu pourrait percer l'isolant du câble de l'alternateur, ce qui pourrait produire un court-circuit, un incendie, et endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront poser un support pour éloigner les fils de l'alternateur de la canalisation de la direction assistée.
