Car experienced rapid alternator failure. Requested dodge repair as part of recall, however they refused stating recall was limited to 160amp alternator and my charger had 180amp. After some research in chrysler forums, both the 160amp and 180 amp alternators are experiencing the same type of failure. Both should be on the recall list!
