SUZUKI

The risk

The product poses a risk of fire due to the inappropriate material of the intercooler outlet pipe insulator. If the insulator is exposed to engine oil for a prolonged period it could swell and slip off from the throttle body due to internal pressure causing an 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 burn up and result in overheating or melting of DPF. In the worst cases, DPF may catch fire.

Product: The recall concerns vehicles with chassis numbers from: JSAJTA44V00 100031 to JSAJTA44V00 302336 (JB419WD) and from: JSAJTD44V00 100055 to JSAJTD44V00 306862 (JB419XD), manufactured between 28.06.2005 and 31.05.2008.
