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.
