The thrust washer for the automatic belt tensioner, which maintains tension of the belt for the engine auxiliary devices, wears due to its improper material (resin). This could damage the tensioner, causing the belt to come off, and the alternator and the hydraulic pump for power steering stops working. As a result, the charge warning light may be illuminated and steering could become heavier.
