Issue

In the engine, inadequate manufacturing process controls for the crankshaft allow residual material to adhere to the pulley bolt threads, reducing bolt clamping force. Continued use under this condition may cause the bolt to loosen and produce abnormal noise. In the worst case, the accessory-drive belt disengages from the crankshaft pulley, illuminating the charge warning light and increasing steering effort.

Corrective action

Replace the pulley mounting bolt on all vehicles with the corrected part. Inspect the crankshaft and key; if damage is found at those locations, replace with corrected parts.
