SUZUKI

The risk

This vehicle poses a risk of injuries due to a possible loss of power. The affected vehicles may pose a potential risk of damage to DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) system. Due to the improper design of the intercooler and the intercooler inlet hose, the compressed air could leak and cause the improper ratio of air/fuel mixture. After certain period of usage, the above condition may cause excessive deposition of carbon particulate in DPF that could result in the overheating or melting of DPF and damage due to heat. In this case the warning lights on drivers control panel will illuminate and if the vehicle will not be driven to an authorised repair, loss of power will happen.

Product: The recall concerns vehicles with chassis numbers from JSAJTA44V00107438 to JSAJTA44V00251487 (3D) and from JSAJTD44V00106868 to JSAJTD44V00252271 (5D), with production period from 28 June 2005 to 2 April 2007.
