The problem
Suzuki is recalling certain model year 2010 equator pickup trucks manufactured from November 20, 2009 through March 3, 2010. The lower control link bushing collars, located in the front suspension, May contain welds that do not meet strength specifications. If a collar weld separates, it May change the wheel alignment, potentially allowing the vehicle handling characteristics to deteriorate.
The risk
This could cause the driver to have difficulty controlling the vehicle which could result in a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect, and if necessary replace, one or both lower control links on the vehicle free of charge. The safety recall began on June 1, 2010. Owners May contact Suzuki at 1-800-934-0934.
