Defect

On medium-duty trucks equipped with the 60A alternator, the shape of the insulating bush at the positive terminal is improper. When moisture containing road salt or snowmelt agent accumulates between the terminal and the alternator body, an electrical leak occurs. This causes the battery charge warning lamp to illuminate and the terminal area to sustain burn damage, resulting in a loss of charging function and possible engine stall.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the positive terminal with a corrected part and add waterproof tape to the insulating cap on the terminal wiring. If corrosion is found on the terminal wiring, replace it with repair wiring.
