Recall for you Evo x owners.

Saw this and figured I'd pass it on in case it hasn't been posted.

So they replace the worn belt and some rubber part? My hyundai pulleys are already on the car. Maybe I can be reimbursed for the belt?

New guy here, in the middle of purchasing a 2010 Octane Blue Evo SE. When I asked the present owner if he had changed the pulleys and belt from the recent TSB he said yes. When I met him and checked the car out he said not the serpentine belt but the timing chain as when the mechanic had last checked it out (51000 miles at the time now 52000) it was stretched. He was unaware of the recent TSB.

So while there is a need to change the serpentine belt and pulleys it appears that some are seeing the timing chain being stretched at a very early time.
