Defect
The crimp force applied to the terminals of the electrical wiring connected to the alternator is insufficient. The under-crimped terminal joints oxidize, leading to a broken wire or disconnection. As a result, the battery is no longer charged, and continued operation may cause the engine to stall and be unable to restart.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the affected wiring terminals are cut off, the wire ends are treated with a protective finish, and a corrected replacement wiring harness is added.
