## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the flange of the drive belt automatic tensioner may crack over time due to repetitive high load operations and stress concentration. This could cause the drive belt to detach, leading to battery depletion, which would result in a loss of motive power and a loss of power steering assist.  These issues could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.  Correction: Dealers will replace the auto tensioner with a countermeasure unit.
