Filing in context
The Power Steering is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 43 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 14 Suzuki notifications from 2010 in this archive. For scale, 2,101 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 year.
Defect
The tensioner pulley that adjusts drive belt tension for the power steering pump uses an outer resin material of incorrect specification, causing the resin section to fracture. This produces abnormal noise and, in the worst case, may cause the belt to disengage from the power steering pump pulley, increasing steering effort.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the tensioner pulley with the corrected/revised part.
