NHTSA recall 15V587000
Steering · Suzuki Motor USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Suzuki motor of america, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2012-2103 Suzuki SX4 vehicles manufactured September 3, 2011, to April 5, 2013. In the affected vehicles, insufficient clearance between the power steering pump body and the power steering fluid control valve may cause improper movement of the valve, and as a result, the power steering pump may seize.
Why it matters: A seizure of the power steering pump would cause a loss of power steering assist, requiring extra steering effort at lower speeds, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
The fix: Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the power steering pump, free of charge. The recall began on October 9, 2015.
