NHTSA recall 94V073002
Suspension · Suzuki Motor USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The right rear and left axle shaft housing tubes were incorrectly welded and can fracture. Fracture of the rear axle shaft housing can result in separation of the affected wheel assembly and separation of the brake line.
Why it matters: Separation of the wheel assembly can cause loss of vehicle control and separation of the brake line results in loss of one-half ofthe braking system, increasing stopping distance. In either case, an accidentcan occur.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the welds of the rear axle assemblies on involved vehicles and, if necessary, replace the complete rear axle assembly.
