The hazard
On certain vehicles, the cable from the starter to the battery stud on the alternator may break off at the alternator end, due to vibration in the cable, if the wire harness is not routed and clipped correctly. If the terminal breaks off, the cab will lose all power, resulting in complete electrical failure and engine shutdown, which may result in an accident and potentially cause property damage, personal injury, or death. Correction: Dealer will reroute and rewire the wiring harness to the alternator.
