The short answer

NHTSA received Trans/Air Manufacturing Corp.’s report on Aug 27, 2013. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

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.

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.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
