The short version
NISSAN DIESEL AMERICA, INC reported a problem with the engine and engine cooling. Here is what owners need to know.
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH BANDO BELT TENSIONER, CORROSION OR RUST MAY DEVELOP ON THE TENSIONER SPINDLE OR BUSHING CAUSING THE AUTO TENSIONER TO BECOME STIFF OR BIND. THIS CAN CAUSE THE DRIVE BELT TO SUDDENLY COME OFF, OR THE AUTO TENSIONER MOUNTING BOLTS COULD SUDDENLY BREAK.
IF THE DRIVE BELT COMES OFF, THE ALTERNATOR WARNING LAMP WILL ILLUMINATE. IF THE WARNING IS IGNORED, THIS CONDITION COULD ULTIMATELY RESULT IN A LOSS OF VEHICLE POWER (ENGINE STALL) INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE AUTO TENSIONER, INSTALL UPGRADED MOUNTING BOLTS, AND REPLACE THE ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT FREE OF CHARGE.
