Defect

The distance between the end of the flange that secures the belt pulley and the inner bend of the pulley is too short. After the pulley is fastened, the flange may ride up onto the inner bend, creating a gap. Repeated loading from the accessory belt then wears the inner bend of the pulley, causing the fastening bolts to loosen and eventually fracture, allowing the accessory belt to disengage. This results in loss of charging function and engine cooling failure, illuminating a warning lamp. In the worst case, the engine stalls and cannot be restarted.

Corrective action

Replace the belt pulley on all vehicles with the current production part.

状況

ウォータポンププーリを締結するフランジの端部とプーリ内側曲げ部との距離が短いため、プーリ締結後にフランジがプーリ内側曲げ部に乗り上げ隙間が生じるものがある。そのため、補機ベルト荷重が繰返し加わるとプーリ内側曲げ部が摩耗して締結ボルトが緩み、ボルトが折損して補機ベルトが外れると、発電不良及び冷却不良が発生し、警告灯が点灯するとともにエンジンが停止して再始動できなくなるおそれがある。

改善措置

全車両、ウォータポンププーリを現行量産品と交換する。
