What can fail
The power circuit board inside the regulator/rectifier may not be properly bonded to its case. Heat can cause the circuit board to warp, creating excessive heat and uncontrolled electrical output. This prevents proper battery charging, potentially causing engine stalling or failure to start.
What the fix does
The regulator/rectifier assembly will be replaced with a new unit.
