Recall ID # 12V464000 - SUSPENSION:FRONT:HUB
Recall Date:
SEP 19, 2012
Component:
SUSPENSION:FRONT:HUB
Model Affected:
EQUATOR
Units Affected:
25
Recall Details
Recall Date:
SEP 19, 2012
Model Affected:
2012 SUZUKI EQUATOR
Summary:
Suzuki is recalling certain model year 2012 Equator two-wheel drive vehicles manufactured from June 19, 2012, through July 12, 2012. These vehicles may have been equipped with front wheel hubs that may not meet the design hardness specifications. A wheel hub that was manufactured below hardness specification may wear prematurely and eventually crack.
Consequence:
If the vehicle is driven with a cracked wheel hub, the wheel hub may break, which would reduce the driver's ability to control the vehicle, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
Remedy:
All of the affected vehicles have been quarantined at Suzuki dealers prior to being sold. As such, a recall notification letter will not be issued. Suzuki dealers will replace the left and right side front wheel hub assemblies free of charge. Customers may contact Suzuki at 1-877-697-8985.
Units Affected:
25
