Filing in context
The Other (Running Gear) is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 11 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 8 Suzuki notifications from 2004 in this archive. For scale, 3,498 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 1 month.
Defect
Improper press-fitting of the spacer into the aluminum speed sensor panel on front and rear wheels generates aluminum fragments during the process. These fragments may fall into the ABS sensor chamber located between the panel and the wheel during vehicle vibration in operation. If the wheel temperature rises from heavy brake use and an aluminum fragment becomes wedged in the gap between the panel and the wheel, the fragment may temporarily seize in that gap and prevent the wheel from rotating smoothly. In the worst case, the panel can seize to the wheel and rotate with it, causing the ABS sensor to contact surrounding components, sustain damage, illuminate the warning lamp, and disable ABS function.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the ABS sensor chamber between the speed sensor panel and wheel, and the area around the panel shaft, on all four wheels for aluminum fragments. Remove any fragments found. On vehicles where fragments have already seized in the gap, remove the fragments and replace any damaged parts with new ones.

状況
前後輪において、アルミ製スピードセンサパネルにスペーサを圧入する作業が不適切な ため、圧入した際に当該パネルからアルミ片が発生したものがあり、走行中の振動等によ り当該アルミ片が当該パネルとホイールの間にあるＡＢＳセンサの部屋内に脱落して留ま っていることがある。そのため、ブレーキの多使用等によりホイールの温度が上昇した状 態でアルミ片が当該パネルとホイールの間に挟まった場合、当該アルミ片が当該隙間部で 一時的に固着し、ホイールが円滑に回転しなくなり、最悪の場合、当該パネルがホイール と固着してパネルが回転し、ＡＢＳセンサが周辺部品と接触して破損し、警告灯が点灯し てＡＢＳが機能しなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、前後輪のスピードセンサパネルとホイール間のＡＢＳセンサの部屋内及びパネル 軸部周辺のアルミ片の有無を確認し、アルミ片のあるものは取り除く。また、既にアルミ 片が隙間部に固着しているものは、アルミ片を取り除くとともに、傷ついた部品を新品に 交換する。
