This bulletin provides information related to the 2003~2004 Sorento models produced from
6/30/2002 ~1/28/2004. The Crankshaft pulley bolt may become loose, especially if it was
improperly torqued during routine service. The usual indicator of such loosening is a rattling noise
coming from the engine compartment, which can be traced to the Crankshaft pulley assembly.
The Crankshaft pulley bolt and washer should be replaced with the corrosion free bolt and washer
(Dacro Coating) which can be identified by its silver color. The crankshaft pulley bolt and washer
should never be re-used and should be replaced, if removed. This bulletin describes the proper
service procedure for identifying and torquing the Crankshaft pulley bolt.
