SUZUKI announced a problem with the GRAND VITARA 2.4 PETROL affecting a total of 2,690 vehicles.
The internal spring within the drive belt tensioner may break causing the drive belt to loose tension. This will prevent the alternator, water pump and air-conditioning compressor pulleys from operating. Warning lamps associated with battery charging and engine coolant temperature will illuminate.
