SUBJECT:
CHIRPING NOISE FROM DRIVE BELT
This bulletin supercedes TSB-07-11-005, to include 2007 model year vehicles. Revisions are indicated by asterisks.
PURPOSE
On some affected vehicles, the accessory drive belt may make a chirping sound when the steering wheel is turned to full lock (typically during parking
maneuvers). To eliminate this condition, replace the alternator pulley with a new, improved pulley equipped with an overrunning clutch, listed in the
PARTS INFORMATION section of this bulletin.
