Details
What's wrong: On certain pick-up trucks equipped with 4.7L engines, the generator wiring harness may short circuit due to contact with a valve cover stud.
Why it matters: A short circuit in the generator harness can cause an under hood fire.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the alternator wiring insulation for damage and repair and add a tie-strap clip to the valve cover stud to retain the wiring. This recall began on August 13, 2004. Owners should contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
