Suzuki Jimny: Steering Effort May Decrease
Suzuki is recalling 1,510 Jimny vehicles in the United Kingdom because bolts that secure lateral rods to the axles may become loose and fall out, which can reduce the steering effort needed to turn the vehicle. This happens because the rods help prevent axle movement, and if the bolts fail, the axle can move excessively. Suzuki will replace the bolts with modified versions on affected vehicles.
- Recalling firm
- SUZUKI
- Product
- Vehicles: SUZUKI JIMNY. Units affected: 1,510
- Reason
- A bolt securing lateral rods to the front and rear axles may become loose and cause a vibration through the steering wheel. These rods act as an anti tramp measure. If the bolt wears it can drop out allowing the axle to tramp and cause the steering effort applied by the driver to reduce. Remedy: Replace bolts on affected vehicles with modified version
