Overview
| MLIT filing number | 2104120 |
|---|---|
| Type | Improvement Campaign (manufacturer improvement measure / 改善対策) |
| Date filed | December 7, 2011 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Suzuki |
| Component | Shock Absorber |
| Production period | January 26, 2006 — September 12, 2011 |
| Vehicles affected | 116,909 units |
Issue
On the rear shock absorbers, the spring design and the piston rod retaining nut are improperly configured, causing excessive force to be applied to the piston rod on some units. Continued use in this condition may cause the threaded section of the piston rod to fracture, resulting in complete loss of the shock absorber's damping function.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the rear shock absorbers with corrected parts incorporating a revised spring design and revised piston rod retaining nut.
