NHTSA recall 04V427000
Fuel System, Gasoline · Suzuki Motor USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, under ambient temperatures below -25 degrees celsius, moisture can freeze in the fuel pressure regulator. As a result, fuel system pressure may increase at the time of engine start up, causing fuel loss at the fuel pipe/fuel hose connection.
Why it matters: Fuel loss in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
The fix: Dealers will replace the fuel pressure regulator, the fuel deliver hose and replace the hose clamp with an improved clamp. The recall began on September 29, 2004. Owners should contact Suzuki at 1-800-934-0934.
