## What is wrong

Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. \(Suzuki\) is recalling certain model year 2012\-2103 Suzuki SX4 vehicles manufactured September 3, 2011, to April 5, 2013.  In the affected vehicles, insufficient clearance between the power steering pump body and the power steering fluid control valve may cause improper movement of the valve, and as a result, the power steering pump may seize.


## What can happen

A seizure of the power steering pump would cause a loss of power steering assist, requiring extra steering effort at lower speeds, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.


## The remedy

Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the power steering pump, free of charge.  The recall began on October 9, 2015.  Owners may contact Suzuki's customer service number at 1\-800\-934\-0934.  Suzuki's number for this recall is VS.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
