Details
What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, the left side of the retainer rear drive shaft may crack and the gears may get stuck due to oil leakage by the retainer.
Why it matters: This can lead to the rear differential gears locking up and the vehicle may become disabled increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the left side of the retainer rear drive shaft. Suzuki will call owners on or about December 15, 2005. Followup letters to owners were mailed on February 13, 2006.
