REPLACE POLY V-BELT AND TENSIONER (M156 ENGINE)
This Service Campaign has been initiated because DCAG has determined that on affected vehicles (see VIN range) the poly V-belt tensioner may emit
noise. Dealers will replace the poly V-Belt and tensioner and check for the proper installation of the belt guide pulleys.
Please review the Effective Serial Number chart and if necessary, repair the subject vehicles during the vehicle's next service.
Prior to performing this Service Campaign:
-
Please check VMI to insure the vehicle is involved and to determine if the vehicle has been previously repaired.
-
Please review the entire Service Campaign bulletin.
Approximately 832 vehicles are affected.
