Defect Description
Trans/Air Manufacturing (Trans/Air) is recalling certain Compressor Mount Kits with part numbers: 4012666-01, 4012666-02, 4012676-01 and 4012676-02; and installed between June 1, 2010 and June 15, 2013 onto Ford 5.4 or 6.8 Liter engines. Depending on the routing of the alternator harness, and the orientation of the heater hose spring clamp at the front of the intake manifold, the alternator harness may be pinched between the spring clamp and the compressor mounting bracket.
Consequence / Hazard
The charging system may fail which could lead to the vehicle stalling while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, the spring clamp could pierce both the positive and negative wires of the alternator harness creating a short circuit which could result in a fire.
Proposed Solution
Trans/Air will notify owners and dealers will inspect the vehicles, correct the clamp installation and repair the alternator harness, as needed, free of charge. The recall began during October 2013. Owners may contact Trans/Air at 1-800-673-2446. Trans/Air's recall number is 13-002.
