What is wrong
On certain pickup trucks, the alternator wire connection to the power distribution center (pdc) can loosen.
The risk
This could cause a vehicle fire.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the installation of the alternator wire connection to the pdc and if necessary, reposition the wire so that the crimp connection will face upward and tighten the fastener to the correct torque setting.
