EPDM belts, installed by original equipment manufacturers on new vehicles since the late 1990's, typically do not show obvious signs of wear, as with Neoprene belts. Cracks and chuck-outs rarely occur, so it is necessary to evaluate belt wear differently. Like tires, EPDM belts wear our gradually, steadily losing rubber material.
