Recall 2017574

The issue

On certain vehicles equipped with 3.6L engines and 160 amp output alternators, 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 replace the alternator. Note: This is an expansion of recall 2014-446.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules munis d'un moteur de 3,6 L et d'un alternateur d'une puissance de 160 A, il peut se produire une défaillance soudaine de l'alternateur. Cela pourrait faire caler le moteur, entraînant ainsi une perte de force motrice qui pourrait augmenter le risque de collision, mettre divers systèmes de sécurité du véhicule hors circuit et provoquer un incendie. Ces deux problèmes pourraient augmenter les risques de blessures corporelles ou de dommages matériels. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer l'alternateur. Remarque: Le présent rappel s'ajoute au rappel 2014-446.
