The issue
On certain vehicles equipped with PACCAR MX-13 engines and Delco-Remy 40SI alternators, the alternator charge cable may chafe against an air conditioning discharge line. This chafing could lead to damage of the alternator cable's insulation and could lead to an electrical short, increasing the risk of fire, which could result in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will rotate the alternator cable end 180 degrees to provide necessary clearance and reattach the cable to the alternator.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules munis d'un moteur PACCAR MX-13 et d'un alternateur Delco-Remy 40SI, le câble du chargeur pour l'alternateur pourrait s'user par frottement contre une tuyauterie de sortie du climatiseur. L'usure pourrait engendrer des dommages à l'isolant du câble de l'alternateur et un court-circuit, augmenter les risques de feu et ainsi causer des blessures et/ou des dommages aux biens. Correction : Les concessionnaires doivent faire pivoter l'extrémité du câble de l'alternateur de 180 degrés afin de créer un jeu suffisant pour le câble, puis rebrancher ce dernier à l'alternateur.
