Description of the problem	There is a current chrysler recall out right now (below). P60 - safety recall - alternator / 2011-2014 (lx) chrysler 300, (ld) dodge charger, (lc) dodge challenger, (wd) dodge durango and 2012- 2014 (wk) jeep grand cherokee my alternator burned up and the whole jeep was dead randomly one morning emitting smoke under the hood and throughout the cabin. I turned it on and heard a whining noise which then stopped and then smoke just coming out of the alternator. I read the recall and it only applies to the 160 amp alternators. According to my vin, i have the 180 amp alternator and i feel this recall applies to the 180 amp alternators as well but it isn't listed. I had to get it replaced and ended up spending over $900 on something i think should have been part of this particular recall given the specifics of this recall and the matching symptoms of my burnt up alternator. Thank for any information you can provide.
