What is the issue tied to this recall?
Certain vehicles may have an oil drive belt tensioner arm that may fracture or separate. In some vehicles, the oil pump drive belt material can degrade and lose teeth.

This could cause a loss of vehicle power and a loss of the mechanical vacuum pump required to provide power braking assist, increasing the risk of a crash.
