BACKGROUND
Some water pump castings are not within specifications because of a manufacturing die problem. As a result, the timing belt tensioner pulley is misaligned. This pulley misalignment causes the timing belt to contact a bolt on the cylinder head, eventually damaging the belt. In the worst case, a broken timing belt will cause the engine to stall, which could result in a crash.
