This condition could cause the harness wires to be cut, which could cause a short circuit and ignition point. Trans/Air Manufacturing is issuing a Safety Recall thru Service Bulletin #13-002, to address this concern. Trans/Air Product: All Ford 5.4L and 6.8L vehicles with Trans/Air installed compressor mounts, p/n's 4012666-01, 4012666-02, 4012676-01, & 4012676-02 installed between 6/1/2010 and 6/15/2013 Symptoms: Symptoms could range from none-at-all to alternator failure, burning, heat smell, or smoke in the engine compartment. Cause: If the tab from the heater hose spring clamp is not oriented properly, (toward the rear of the engine) it could possibly pinch the alternator cable against the compressor mount plate. Inspection: Inspect the alternator harness to be sure it is not pinched between the spring clamp and the compressor mount plate, while at the same time verifying the tabs on the clamp are oriented toward the rear of the engine. Compensation: Special authorization code for inspection only: MK-10-A flat rate 10 minutes per vehicle. Corrective Action: If the harness is pinched, move harness to a location that is clear of spring clamp and rotate the tangs of the clamp to the rear of the engine (See pictures below) Compensation: Special authorization code for re-locating harness if required. MK-45-A flat rate 45 minutes per vehicle. Authorization: Jeff Kochenour, Warranty Manager Distribution: E All CCD-0010255 Rev: 5.14.2025 480 E. Locust St. · P.O.
