NHTSA recall 03V495000
Electrical System · Suzuki Motor USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: On certain sport utility vehicles, the ignition system wiring harness is routed under the intake manifold. The harness can rub against the manifold during vehicle operation and abrasion damage to the harness can occur.
Why it matters: Damage to the wiring harness can cause a short in the ignition circuit, which can cause the ignition fuse to blow and the engine to stop running. This can result in a loss of control of the vehicle and could cause a crash.
The fix: Dealers will repair any wiring harness damage and will add additional insulation and a protector plate to prevent the wiring harness from becoming damaged. Owner notification began on December 16, 2003. Owners should contact Suzuki at 1-800-934-0934.
