## What is wrong

ON CERTAIN HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS BUILT WITH A DETROIT ENGINE AND A LEECE NEVILLE ALTERNATOR.  THE ELECTRICAL TERMINAL AT THE ALTERNATOR END OF THE CABLE THAT RUNS FROM THE STARTER TO THE BATTERY STUD ON THE ALTERNATOR MAY BREAK OFF, DUE TO VIBRATION IN THE CABLE.


## What can happen

IF THE TERMINAL BREAKS OFF, THE CAB WILL LOSE ALL POWER, RESULTING IN COMPLETE ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND ENGINE SHUTDOWN, WHICH MAY RESULT IN A CRASH AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL REROUTE AND REWIRE THE WIRING HARNESS TO THE ALTERNATOR.  OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON MARCH 13, 2003.
