A positive alternator cable (with damaged insulation) which contacts a grounded component would cause an electrical short circuit.  This could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary replace the alternator cables.  In addition, the cable routing and securing will be modified to ensure sufficient clearance to the heat shield.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"FL-590","part_number":null,"units":10,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Circuit électrique","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules, les câbles de l'alternateur pourraient être acheminés d'une façon qui leur permet d'entrer en contact avec un bouclier thermique du moteur, ce qui pourrait endommager l'isolation des câbles. Un câble positif de l'alternateur (dont l'isolation est endommagée) qui touche à une pièce mise à la masse provoquerait un court-circuit. Cela pourrait mettre le feu au véhicule, endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter et, si nécessaire, remplacer les câbles de l'alternateur. De plus, la fixation et l'acheminement des câbles devront être modifiés pour assurer un dégagement suffisant par rapport au bouclier thermique."},"vehicles":[{"year":2011,"make":"FREIGHTLINER","model":"CASCADIA","vehicle_id":"2011_freightliner_cascadia","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2011,"make":"WESTERN STAR","model":"4900","vehicle_id":"2011_western-star_4900","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2011076"}
