2001 Suzuki Grand Vitara recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: some sport utility vehicles do not comply with the certain requirements of FMVSS no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars." the presentation of some of the information on the tire information label deviates from the format set forth in the standard and the label may not be "permanently affixed" as required by the standard.
💥 The risk
The label may not be fully understood by some customers.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install new labels as well as an update to the owner's manual. Owner notification began march 26, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact suzuki at 1-800-934-0934.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
