SUZUKI 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 SUZUKI HAS SUPERSEDED THE DEFECTIVE PART WITH A NEW REPLACEMENT IN THEIR PARTS CATALOG, SO THERE IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM WITH THE ORIGINAL UNIT. I FEEL THIS MATTER BEARS INVESTIGATION FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL ON ALL UNITS SOLD WITH THE SUPERSEDED PART.
