| Description of the problem | While at highway speed, 65mph, front belt pulley bolt broke causing pulley to dislodge. Causes belt to wrap around shaft and jam locking rear wheel. Luckily the pulley did not fall off belt guard and hit myself or any other vehicles. This has not been adjusted due to not needing new belt, and was at same specs from factory. Upon research, found multiple owners same year having same failures. So far no one has wrecked or caused injury, however had i been inexperienced i likely would have. Upon contacting my local dealer where purchased i was told that humidity could weaken the bolt and cause failure. This was feb 27 @ 1330. Was told i would have to pay for diagnostics and repair. I'm surprised that humidity could be blamed for failure, and then have to pay for repair. I opted to remove broken bolt on own with basic tools previously . Did not want to assist in working with main manufacturer or investigate the multiple failures. |
