## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the fasteners which secure the alternator circuit fuse to the power distribution centre \(PDC\) may have an improper clamp load.  Improper clamping may result in arcing at the connection and the potential for fire in the engine compartment.  Correction: The alternator fuse will be replaced with a fuse link and damage to the PDC will be repaired.
