Recall 00V142001: Serpentine Belt Pulley Failure
The loading conditions on the vehicle's left side engine idler pulley can exceed the maximum calculated figure of the original design specification. The
material of the pulley can fracture and ultimately fail. Failure of the pulley material can cause the pulley to throw off the serpentine belt.
This could result in a loss of engine auxiliary functions (power steering, water pump, alternator, air conditioning and ACE).
Dealers will install an improved idler pulley.
