Filing in context
The Accelerator is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 34 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 13 Suzuki notifications from 2006 in this archive. For scale, 805 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 5 years and 1 month.
Defect
The accelerator cable is routed improperly, concentrating stress on the casing cap that secures the cable to the body. This stress concentration may damage the cap. Continued use allows the broken cap end to contact and wear the inner cable, which may, in the worst case, cause the inner cable to fracture, resulting in loss of accelerator control.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the accelerator cable with a corrected part and modify the cable routing.

状況
アクセルケーブルの取り回しが不適切なため、当該ケーブルを車体に固定するケーシングキャップに応力が集中し破損するものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、破損したキャップの端部とインナーケーブルが干渉し、摩耗することから、最悪の場合、インナーケーブルが切損し、アクセル操作不能になるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、アクセルケーブルを対策品と交換すると共に、取り回しを変更する。
