- Component:
- Electrical system:alternator/generator/regulator
- Manufactured:
- 03/31/1994 - 02/28/1995
- Affected:
- 1,166
- Defect:
- When in operation, the pre-heater requires good engine ground. however, the alternators are not grounded through the case, limiting the ground for engine electrical components. the pre-heater amperage can then ground to the steel braided air compressor hose which is secured in a rubber lined clip. in some circumstances, the clip can contact the frame rail causing an arc.
- Consequence:
- This condition can cause a hole to be burned through the air line, preventing the air compressor from delivering sufficient air pressure to the braking system reducing brake capability and increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
- Correction:
- Dealers will install a 6 gauge ground cable between the engine and the existing starter ground cable located inside the frame rail.
