The short version

AMERICAN SUZUKI MOTOR CORP. reported a problem with the front hub. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

These vehicles may have been equipped with front wheel hubs that may not meet the design hardness specifications. A wheel hub that was manufactured below hardness specification may wear prematurely and eventually crack.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the vehicle is driven with a cracked wheel hub, the wheel hub may break, which would reduce the driver's ability to control the vehicle, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.

WHAT TO DO

Take it to a dealer — they will replace the left and right side front wheel hub assemblies free of charge.
