Description of the problem	My vehicle's electrical system will not charge correctly and has lead to electrical systems shutting down while driving. I was driving in 90+ degree heat along a city street with the ac running full blast and the radio going, just minutes after having left my house, when suddenly the radio stopped working and would not turn back on. Moments later, the ac system started blowing hot air and a red battery voltage light appeared in the evic with a ding noise. Shortly thereafter all electrical systems ceased and the engine died, with the transmission grinding to a halt. The vehicle was towed to a local repair shop where i had the electrical systems including the alternator inspected. The alternator passed inspection just slightly under the recommended 14 volts, so i opted not to replace it but did have to purchase a new battery. This was approximately one month ago. Fast forward to today, and while driving home the radio turned itself off and a low battery voltage indicator appeared in the evic. After searching the web, i see there is a known flaw with chrysler alternators relating to recall notice "t3607112017" - found here: https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/rcl/2017/rcmn-17v435-1556. Pdf i'm quite a bit peeved - as i sit here unable to use my vehicle, chrysler seems to be dragging its feet with this particular recall, scheduled to be announced during the 4th quarter 2017. I'm afraid if i were to use my vehicle again, i would either become stranded once more, or worse - there have been reports of electrical fires originating in the alternator with this particular model vehicle. Alas, i've searched for the invoice from the repair shop i used but have been unable to find it. Perhaps i can call and see if they have a copy available in their records.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
