    FUEL LOSS IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.

    Action:

    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.

    Manufacture Dates:08/01/2000 - 03/31/2001
    Potential Units Affected:37911

    Defect Description:

    ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, STRESS AROUND THE RIGHT FRONT FUEL TANK MOUNTING POINT CAN CAUSE HAIRLINE FATIGUE CRACKS TO FORM. THIS CAN RESULT IN A FUEL LEAK.

    Consequence:

    Manufacturer:AMERICAN SUZUKI MOTOR CORP.
    Manufacture Dates:11/01/1998 - 11/30/2003
    Potential Units Affected:849

    Defect Description:

    THIS CAMPAIGN INVOLVES CERTAIN MARAUDER MODEL MOTORCYCLES EQUIPPED WITH CALIFORNIA EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS EQUIPMENT. WHEN A MOTORCYCLE IS PARKED AFTER CITY DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, UNDER SOME CONDITIONS, ELEVATED PRESSURE IN THE FUEL TANK VENT LINE CAN CAUSE BACK PRESSURE IN THROUGH THE SURGE CONTROL VALVE.

    Consequence:

    ON SOME OCCASIONS THIS CAN CAUSE LIQUID FUEL FROM REAR CARBURETOR AIR FILTER BOX. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE THIS FUEL LEAKAGE CAN CAUSE A FIRE.

    Action:

    DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CARBON CANISTER WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED CANISTER AND ASSOCIATED VENT LINE CHANGES WILL BE MADE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JULY 30, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT SUZUKI AT 1-800-255-2550.
    2001 SUZUKI XL-7
    NHTSA Campaign ID:VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CABLES
    Manufacturer:AMERICAN SUZUKI MOTOR CORP.
    Manufacture Dates:09/01/2000 - 06/30/2003
    Potential Units Affected:196876

    Defect Description:

    ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE ACCELERATOR CABLE CASING CAP THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE FIREWALL CAN CRACK DUE TO EXTENDED EXPOSURE TO FORCES FROM THE ACCELERATOR CABLE AND INSUFFICIENT LONG-TERM DURABILITY OF THE PLASTIC CASING CAP. IF THE CASING CAP BECOMES CRACKED, MOVEMENT OF THE INNER ACCELERATOR CABLE THROUGH THE CAP CAN CAUSE THE INNER ACCELERATOR CABLE TO BECOME FRAYED.

    Consequence:

    IF THE INNER ACCELERATOR CABLE BECOMES FRAYED, IT CAN STICK DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. IN THE CASE WHERE AN ACCELERATOR CABLE STICKS, THE DRIVER COULD HAVE DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING VEHICLE SPEED, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

    Action:

    DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ACCELERATOR CABLE, WHICH INCLUDES THE PLASTIC CASING CAP. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JANUARY 5, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT SUZUKI AT 1-800-934-0934.
