- What it can cause
- An overheated alternator increases the risk of fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the alternator, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 13, 2025. Owners may contact Storyteller customer service at 1-888-999-7442.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 196 vehicles this is a small campaign: 61% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2024, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2024, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Storyteller Overland vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system once before this, most recently in October 2022 as 22V770000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Storyteller Overland with NHTSA on December 23, 2024 as campaign 24V966000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
