What NHTSA recorded

On certain pickup trucks, the alternator wire connection to the power distribution center (pdc) can loosen.

Possible consequence

This could cause a vehicle fire.

Remedy

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.
