What can go wrong

Due to the type of material used for the engine drive belt the nylon idler pulley(s) may wear at an angle. With continued use under this condition the drive belt will be forced off the pulleys. This can lead to battery depletion Overheating and on vehicles with hydraulic power steering the steering effort will increase.

The fix

Replace engine drive belt. Check and if necessary replace idler pulley(s).

Is a specific car affected? A recall lists models and build dates, not individual vehicles, so these pages cannot tell you whether one car is included. Enter the registration on the DVSA vehicle recall checker on GOV.UK, or give the vehicle identification number (VIN) to the manufacturer or one of its dealers. Buying used? Ask the seller for proof that any recall work was done.
