| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Automatic cam chain tensioner starting to fail, leading to increased noise & wear, possible future catastrophic failure. conversations with other owners of this model indicates this is a common problem, which suzuki does not wish to fix once 1 year vehicle warranty is expired, even tho' low annual mileage on recreational vehicles means the engine is still "new" when this problem develops. suzuki has superseded the defective part with a new replacement in their parts catalog, so there is definitely a problem with the original unit. i feel this matter bears investigation for a possible recall on all units sold with the superseded part. |
