Posted on: 2006-01-31
Description

Consequence
In the presence of an ignition source, a fuel leak can result in a fire.
Corrective Action
Dealers will inspect the fuel tank and install improved cushions that mount and support the fuel tank. Any fuel tanks that are found to have a crack will be replaced. If a tank is found to have a crack and a replacement tank is not available, fuel tank sealant will be applied to the tank as an interim repair. When the replacement tank becomes available, the owner will be contacted and a replacement tank will be installed. The recall began on february 3, 2006. Owners may contact suzuki at 1-714-572-1490.
