2000–2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara & 2001–2004 Suzuki Grand Vitara XL-7 + 1 more recall: fuel system
⚠️ 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.
💥 The risk
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.
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.)
