Consumer Description

THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY BOLT BROKE ON THE 94 MONTERO SR AND I LOST POWER STEERING ASSIST. THUS, THE CAR WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER AND A LIFE THREATENING CONDITION WAS ENCOUNTERED. THE RECALL SR-01-002 DOES NOT COVER THIS MODEL ENGINE EVEN THOUGH THE PART USED IS THE SAME THROUGHOUT THOSE YEARS.*AK
