If an idler pulley bearing breaks, it can lead to the idler pulley seizing or becoming misaligned, which may cause the drive belt to slip or break. This can result in loss of power to various components, such as the alternator or water pump, potentially leading to engine overheating or electrical failures. Additionally, continued operation with a broken bearing can cause further damage to the engine or surrounding components. It's advisable to replace the idler pulley and bearing promptly to prevent further complications.
