Defect

The mounting bolts for the engine accessory drive crank pulley are insufficiently torqued on certain vehicles, causing abnormal noise. Continued use may allow the bolts to fall out, detaching the crank pulley. This compromises steering power assist function and, in the worst case, may cause the engine to stall.

Inspect all vehicles and retorque the mounting bolts. On any vehicle where the crank pulley mounting area is damaged, replace the crank pulley with a new part.
