## What is wrong

Suzuki is recalling certain model year 2012 Equator two\-wheel drive vehicles manufactured from June 19, 2012, through July 12, 2012.  These vehicles may have been equipped with front wheel hubs that may not meet the design hardness specifications.  A wheel hub that was manufactured below hardness specification may wear prematurely and eventually crack.


## What can happen

If the vehicle is driven with a cracked wheel hub, the wheel hub may break, which would reduce the driver's ability to control the vehicle, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.


## The remedy

All of the affected vehicles have been quarantined at Suzuki dealers prior to being sold.  As such, a recall notification letter will not be issued.  Suzuki dealers will replace the left and right side front wheel hub assemblies free of charge.  Customers may contact Suzuki at 1\-877\-697\-8985.
