Issue
The mounting surface of the crankshaft timing belt guide plate was improperly machined during the manufacturing process, resulting in insufficient contact area on some engines. Continued use allows the pulley mounting bolts to loosen, producing abnormal noise. In the worst case, the crankshaft pulley may spin freely or the accessory drive belt may disengage from the crankshaft pulley, illuminating the charging warning light 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.
