Recall 2012095

The issue

On certain vehicles, the alternator ground cable was incorrectly installed during vehicle assembly. The incorrect connection defeats the intended electrical circuit protection. As a result, an electrical short could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will disconnect the alternator ground cable from the starter and install it on the engine ground stud.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, le câble de mise à la masse de l'alternateur a été mal posé pendant le montage du véhicule. Cela rend la protection voulue du circuit électrique inopérante. En conséquence, un court-circuit pourrait causer un incendie, endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront débrancher le câble de mise à la masse de l'alternateur du démarreur et le poser sur le goujon de mise à la masse du moteur.
