2004 V70 Steering Pump Pulley

I found a small piece that appears to have been broken off on the power steering pump pulley. The pulley is intact, with no other damage. The belt fits snug and secure, and it doesn't have any drivability problems or strange noises.
Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this.
Will this become, or is it a problem?
Thanks for any input.

No problem I think. Mine is chipped the same when I dropped it on the floor. The wheel is brittle plastic. Watch the belt for wear on the side, but it shouldn't be an issue. What's a problem is if it was cracking towards the center, then it may completely fail and take the serpentine belt and sometimes the cambelt along and ruin the engine. The pulley is not too hard to replace but I think it's not sold separately.
