Description of the problem	Very unclear how my durango was not included in the mass recall of alternators that immediately stop working and start to burn. Mine did just this, stopping my vehicle in the middle of traffic and almost causing an accident. I also smelled burning and there was smoke coming from the engine. It was towed to a nearby auto shop whereupon the alternator was replaced but the vehicle still did not operate. It was then towed to ganley chrysler dodge and that alternator removed and another put in. The vehicle also incurred costly repairs to the computer (pcm) system failing due to the alternator. I do not feel this is a normal wear and tear issue at 85k miles. I have called chrysler and they refuse to assist, claiming i should not have had it repaired before calling them. The dealership never gave me an indication that i should proceed this way.

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