Recall 2017341

The issue

On certain vehicles equipped with electro-hydraulic power steering (“EHPS”), the alternator may fail suddenly. This could result in the engine stalling, causing a loss of motive power which could increase the risk of a crash as well as disable various vehicle safety systems, and could also cause a fire. Both issues could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the part number on the alternator, and will replace the alternator as necessary. Note: Only specific engine and alternator combinations are affected by this campaign.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules munis d'une direction assistée électro-hydraulique, une défaillance soudaine de l'alternateur pourrait survenir et causer le calage du moteur, entraînant une perte de puissance motrice pouvant augmenter les risques d'accident et désactiver certains systèmes de sécurité du véhicule, et même provoquer un incendie. Dans les deux cas, les risques de blessures ou de dommages matériels (ou les deux) pourraient augmenter. Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires devront vérifier le numéro de pièce de l'alternateur et remplacer ce dernier au besoin. Remarque : Le présent rappel vise uniquement des ensembles précis de moteur et d'alternateur.
