- Summary
- Suzuki is recalling certain model year 2010 equator pickup trucks manufactured from November 20, 2009 through March 3, 2010.

If a collar weld separates, it may change the wheel alignment, potentially allowing the vehicle handling characteristics to deteriorate.
- Consequence
- This could cause the driver to have difficulty controlling the vehicle which could result in a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect, and if necessary replace, one or both lower control links on the vehicle free of charge. The safety recall began on June 1, 2010. Owners may contact Suzuki at 1-800-934-0934.

Has your Suzuki been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Suzuki dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
