Report: Harmonic Balancer May Fail and Damage Timing Cover
Mercedes-Benz CLK320 Problem
Model Years Affected: 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005
Verified
The rubber bond in the harmonic balancer can decay, which causes the balancer to move and work its way toward the timing cover. If the balancer comes into contact with the timing cover while the engine is running, it will fracture and damage the cover and potentially other surrounding parts. The harmonic balancer should be inspected at every service.
