The issue
On certain vehicles, under hard operating conditions, the engine compartment temperature can increase to a level which exceeds the design parameters for the alternator. A damaged alternator cannot assure sufficient voltage to supply the vehicle electrical system. A damaged alternator has the potential to cause an engine compartment fire. Correction: Dealers will install a modified control unit and a new alternator.
