Filing in context
The Engine is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 72 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 22 Honda notifications from 2002 in this archive. For scale, 1,294 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 3 months.
Issue
In the engine, inadequate process controls during crankshaft manufacturing allow residue to remain on the pulley bolt mounting threads, reducing bolt clamping force. Continued operation causes the bolt to loosen and produces abnormal noise. In the worst case, the accessory drive belt detaches from the crankshaft pulley, illuminating the charge warning lamp and increasing steering effort.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the pulley mounting bolts with corrected parts and inspect the crankshaft and key. If damage is found at those locations, replace with new parts.
