Less Than 200 Remy Alternators Being Recalled In Canada
By Gary Molinaro | May 21st, 2010 | Category: Greensheet News | No Comments »Canadian Tire Corp. (Toronto) and Remy Power Products (Edmond, OK) are recalling less than 200 alternators that fit certain models of 1999-’05 Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Cadillac, Hummer, and Saab trucks, vans, and SUVs. The affected model numbers are 019-4748-6, 019-4749-4 and 019-8204-6. The alternators were sold under the Champion and Hitachi brands by Canadian Tire and PartSource stores between Dec. 28, 2009, and April 9, 2010.
There is the potential that, once installed, these alternators can experience electrical surges — even when vehicles are turned off — posing a potential risk of fire and other damage. Less than 200 units were sold. And, according to the companies, there have been no reported incidents to date in the automotive aftermarket in connection with this product. As you may recall, Remy is recalling roughly 23,000 alternators in the United States sold both as replacement equipment and as original equipment.
