Your earlier post says the belt now has 25K on it. With no major oil leaks it is probably OK. But if the required post-install tensioner adjustment at 600 miles wasn't done 25K ago, normal early life belt stretch may have caused it to finally jump a tooth or two.

My son experienced this on sudden decelleration when he almost missed a thruway exit. The belt jumped so many teeth it had to be towed. As I recall, he just retimed it.
