## Discrepancy

(CAN) ALTERNATOR WENT OFF LINE AND WOULD NO LONGER SUPPLY POWER. THE ALTERNATOR WAS REMOVED FOR REPLACEMENT. IT WAS NOTED THAT THE ALTERATOR DID HAVE A NUT INSTALLED ON THE SPLINE DRIVE. THE SPLINE DRIVE WAS NOTED TO BE SHEARED. THE ALTERNATOR WAS RETURNED TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR WARRANTY CONSIDERATION.
