Owners/service Manual problems of the 2012 Dodge Challenger

Takata recall. On my 2012 Dodge Challenger srt8 model with the automatic 6. 4l v8 engine the alternator just randomly short circuited while I was driving. Luckily I was driving very slowly at that momemt when it inicially occurred. I was on a residencial street then the vehicle just completely shut down. The dashboard lights all started to flash aswell as the stereo monitor was flashing very akwardly. The vehicle no longer turned on & had to be manually placed into neutral to be pushed home. The vehicle will not start even with a jump. If the battery gets charged up independently disconnected from the vehicle it will only give it enough power to start up for just a moment. It has be determined by the delearship that it is the alternator. I came across a public forum that some Dodge Challenger models from years 2011 to 2014 have had the alternator recalled, but this VIN has not been associated with that recall. I have a strong feeling that it should be. Especially since this happened just as described for the models that have had this recall. Alternator without warning has failed on the vehicle.
