There is a recall for the Alternator. Have the dealer check you VIN#. If there is a recall like on mine, it will show up as Alternator/Regulator. My driverside catalytic converter was rattling so the dealer replaced under warranty. I can't believe that the part was going to cost $2500 and $400 labor for install.

Hope this helps!

My dealer is saying that the recall is only on the voltage regulator ..........Even if the recall was on the voltage reguator......wouldnt that be the reason the alternator blew out??
