Defect
On large touring buses, the idler pulley that retains the air-conditioning drive belt is improperly designed, allowing the grease lubricating the pulley bearing to be flung out. Continued use causes the bearing to seize and, in the worst case, the pulley and belt may contact each other and ignite.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the idler pulley with the corrected part.
