## What is wrong

American Suzuki is recalling certain model year 2007 XL\-7 vehicles originally sold or currently registered in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Texas; and manufactured June 13, 2006, through December 22, 2006.  Some of these vehicles have a condition in which the plastic supply or return port on the fuel pump module may crack, which could cause a fuel leak.


## What can happen

Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire.


## The remedy

American Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel pump module, free of charge.  An interim letter was mailed on March 7, 2013.  Owners may contact American Suzuki Customer Relations at 1\-800\-934\-0934.
