My husband and I purchased the ST230P snow blower in Dec 2015. It was this year Jan 2017 the auger belt started slipping off.  My husband fixed it four times before the BIG storm yesterday here in the Northeast.  He went to use the snow blower and it slipped again.  I work for the Big Box store where it was purchased and found out there was a notice from Husquvarna about this "Known" issue with the auger belt slipping off.  My coworker informed me that if you go back to where it was purchased they should have taken care of the issue by giving you a new belt.  I was told the factory put in the wrong size belt.  In reading one of the posts for the 38" X 1/2" size auger belt it needed my husband was able to purchase a belt, off the shelf, from Tractor Supply. He got the most available one today and finished our driveway.  The Tractor Supply stores have a kevlar belt but were out, we will definitely purchase that one.  So do not dispare, try replacing your Auger Belt if it is slipping it was Human Error not design problems.  I hope this will help you.
