Defect
The alternator wiring routed in the upper engine compartment is improperly routed, causing it to contact the air tube retaining clamp on some vehicles. Continued use allows engine vibration to damage both the wiring and the air tube, which in the worst case may cause a charging failure and insufficient air pressure supply.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the affected electrical wiring with new parts and reroute it. If the air tube shows damage, replace it with a new part as well.
