Filing in context
The Evaporative emission control system is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 5 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 18 Suzuki notifications from 2021 in this archive. For scale, 2,336 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 7 months.
Defect
Due to inadequate manufacturing controls, some evaporative emission control system canisters were assembled without the breather hose connecting the canister to the fuel tank. As a result, fuel vapor may vent directly to the atmosphere, failing to conform to Safety Standards Article 31 (Harmful Gas Emission Prevention Equipment).

On all vehicles, inspect the breather hose connection. If the hose is not connected, assemble it to the correct position.
