IV. Background

In certain 2004 and 2005 MY Camry Camry Solara Highlander Sienna certain 2004 MY Avalon and certain 2006 MY Highlander HV vehicles equipped with a IMZ-FE or 3MZ-FE V6 engine the amount of adhesive agent applied between the outer ring and the torsional rubber damper (inner ring) in the crankshaft pulley may be inadequate. It the adhesive is insufficient there is a possibility that the outer nng may become misaligned and it may not properly rotate with the inner nng causing noise and/or illumination of the discharge warning light. In some cases the belt for the power steering pump may become detached from the pulley. The driver may notice a sudden increase in steering effort. A sudden increase in steering effort could increase the risk of a crash.
