    Well I first asked him if he knew what a pulley was. Than he said yes and I asked again if he was talking about the one that has all the belts on it or something else. So he knew exactly what I was talking about. Next I explained what was going on and that it could damage the engine if it gets out of hand. What he told me than is, untill the issue occures they cannot do anything. And mitsubishi would only make a recall on it if it puts the driver in danger. So yeah thats it.

    I work in the aluminum refining industry. Trust me when I say that it doesn't take much to damage it, it's a very soft metal compared to steel. So if the stock pulleys are having a similar issue, I forsee a recall in the future.

    so i have a question. those of us that have the RRM pulley, should we put the stock one back on or wait tell there's a leak or recall?

    I would say leave it, because if the stock and RRM one's are both having the issue they cant blame it on after market parts....
