Overview
| MLIT filing number | 2101980 |
|---|---|
| Type | Improvement Campaign (manufacturer improvement measure / 改善対策) |
| Date filed | December 20, 2001 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mazda |
| Component | Drive Belt |
| Production period | November 13, 2000 — July 13, 2001 |
| Vehicles affected | 10,589 units |
Issue
In the engine, the crimp securing the mounting shaft of the accessory drive belt tensioner is insufficiently formed on some units. The belt tensioner may detach from its mounting point, causing the accessory drive belt to disengage. This disables the alternator and the power steering hydraulic pump, illuminating the charge warning light and increasing steering effort.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the belt tensioner with the corrected part.
