Due to the unsuitable design of the dynamic tensioner of the accessory belt, slip-resistance efforts will increase over time which may lead to cracks in the area of the tensioner strap. The strap could consequently break and the belt fall, resulting in a loss of power steering, the battery discharging and the engine overheating.
The vehicles affected were manufactured between 20. 3. 2008 – 15. 11. 2011.
