This is really disturbing that something as vital as the crank shaft pulley will simple FALL OFF and disable the vehicle and prevent an average driver from driving to a safe stopping place. I lost power steering in traffic and thought I had a broken belt ("battery" & "check charging system" lights came on) until I got to a place I could safely stop and determined what had happened.
DESIGN CHANGE - for HONDA !!!
Have the outer shell of the crank pulley designed in such a way that even if the "rubber" vibration damper is destroyed the outer drive shell (with the belt "grooves") cannot fall off & continues to turn with the inner crank shaft hub. i.e. the driver doesn't experience sudden loss of power steering.
The dealer said they had never seen a crank shaft pulley that was defective. I lost power steering and was running off the battery for electrical power. I was only 3 miles from the dealer so I made it without any problem.
