The problem

Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with active cornering enhancement (ace). 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.

The risk

This could result in a loss of engine auxiliary functions (power steering, water pump, alternator, air conditioning and ace).

The fix

DEALERS WILL INSTALL AN IMPROVED IDLER PULLEY.
