Description of the problem	Hello nhtsa team, i am writing to you to ask that additional vin numbers be included in an existing recall. The existing recall is p60 / nhtsa 14v-634 for alternator failure. Our family has two 2011 grand jeep cherokees and the alternators have failed in both of these vehicles prematurely. Can you please include vin [xxx] into the recall. The alternator in both of our 2011 grand jeep cherokees, the 160 amp unit will suddenly begin making a very loud whining sound that can be heard loudly from within the cabin of the vehicle and within the engine bay. When the failure on the alternator occurs it is very sudden, one day it is working properly the very next day it is not working properly. We have invested a lot of time in discussion already with the fca department at chrysler. Fca at chrysler is indicating to us that our vehicles have all of the matching "specifications" to meet the criteria within the existing recall but our vin numbers are not included, therefore they cannot cover the repair. The fca continually tells us that they are not sure why our vehicles are not included as all of the specifications on their end appear to be identical to the specifications outlined in the recall for the failed alternator. The issue when it occurs is very rapid, we drive the vehicle one day, no issue, and then the very next day when we start the vehicle immediately there is the tell-tail loud whining sound stemming from the alternator and the noise increases in decibels as the rpm increase. Please include vin [xxx] in the existing recall. Thank you very much. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
