If a short develops in the alternator while the vehicle is being driven, it could also result in the engine stalling, causing a loss of motive power and increasing the risk of a crash. Both situations could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the alternator.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"S68","part_number":null,"units":10077,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Circuit électrique","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Dans certains véhicules munis d'un alternateur de 220 A, une variation de charge fréquente à l'intensité nominale et, en particulier, dans des conditions de température ambiante chaude pourrait faire en sorte que l'alternateur subisse un court-circuit, ce qui augmenterait les risques de déclenchement d'un feu dans le compartiment moteur. Si un court-circuit survient dans l'alternateur pendant que le véhicule est en marche, il pourrait faire caler le moteur, ce qui provoquerait une perte de puissance motrice et augmenterait les risques d'accident. Ces deux éventualités pourraient augmenter les risques de blessures ou de dommages matériels (ou les deux).
