Defect
The vibration-dampening rubber bonding surface on the engine's vibration-isolating crank pulley may debond and separate. This causes the outer ring of the crank pulley to detach, disabling the alternator. In the worst case, the engine stalls.
Corrective action
On all affected vehicles, inspect the bonding surface of the crank pulley vibration-dampening rubber. If separation is found, replace the pulley with the corrected part. If no separation is found, install an outer ring retention plate on the side of the crank pulley.
