Suzuki to recall vehicles
Reuters / September 02, 2004

DETROIT -- Suzuki Motor Corp. is recalling more than 172,000 Grand Vitara SUVs because of a fuel pressure problem that can trigger fires, U.S. federal safety regulators said on Thursday.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the 172,093 SUVs affected were from the 1999-2004 model years.

Dealers will replace the fuel pressure regulator on the vehicles, as well as a fuel delivery hose and a hose clamp, NHTSA said.

Is it just me or has Suzuki cut some corners with these new trucks?  It's seems the Sidekick is of better build quality?  ???

I don't know, this is just the impression I'm getting.

i dont think its that the build quality is any less i have both a 91 and an 01 at my disposal i just think there are more gadgets and gizmos to go wrong with the newer ones

suzuki acctually doesnt have all THAT many problems if u compare there list to the list of other companys lol

the fit and finish on my moms 01 GV is acctually quite good it has also taken a beating..not as severe as the hooptie (my 91) but it has seen its bumps and scrapes..still runs like a champ i cant wait till my mom wants to sell it so i can just buy it and swap out the interior/drivetrain =)!!!!!!!!

I was hoping that it'd be a recall on Sidekicks for their shitty rust-proofing, and would provide me with a nice, new convertable body :(

As much as I love it, it's not quite what I'd call trusty right now ;)
