2006 Suzuki XL-7 recalls
Recall 10V-250: Steering
Problem: Suzuki is recalling certain model year model year 2006 grand vitara and model year 2005-2006 xl-7 vehicles. The tension adjuster pulley for the drive belt that operates the power steering pump and air conditioner compressor (If equipped) has an outer portion that is made of plastic. Repeated heat stress can cause the plastic material to deteriorate and pieces of the pulley can break off.
Risk: Broken pieces of the pulley can get caught between the pulley and the drive belt, causing the drive belt to come off and resulting in the driver needing increased effort to steer the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the power steering pump drive belt tension adjuster pulley free of charge. The safety recall began on june 28, 2010. Owners may contact suzuki at 1-800-934-0934.
Recall 05V-452: Service Brakes, Hydraulic

Risk: The front brakes may become inoperative and the vehicle may pull to one side. This could result in a crash without prior warning.
Fix: Dealers will replace the front brake discs on these vehicles. The recall began on november 10, 2005. These vehicles are located on st. Thomas island (Virgin islands). Owners may contact suzuki del caribe at 787-622-0600.
