## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a potential chaffing point may exist between a heat shield on the engine and the wiring for the alternator.  The interference is only present with the combination of a Caterpillar C11/C13 engine and the optional Leece Neville brushless alternator which is longer than any other alternators installed by Kenworth.  Correction:  Dealers will replace the alternator to a brush\-type alternator that is shorter in length and provides the necessary clearance to all surrounding components.
