## What is wrong

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:  SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES.  UNDER TEMPERATURES BELOW \-25 DEGREES, MOISTURE CAN FREEZE IN THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR.  FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE COULD INCREASE AT THE TIME OF ENGINE START UP, CAUSING FUEL LOSS AT THE FUEL PIPE/FUEL HOSE CONNECTION.


## What can happen

FUEL LOSS IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSTALL A REDESIGNED INTAKE MANIFOLD VACUUM UNION AND A NEW FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR.  OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JUNE 4, 2001.  OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT SUZUKI AT 1\-800\-934\-0934.
