JUNE 2010 --
Suzuki is recalling certain model year model year 2006 grand Vitara and model
year 2005-2006 XL-7 vehicles. The tension adjuster pulley for the drive belt
that operates the power steering pump and airconditioner compressor (if
equipped) has an outer portion that is made of plastic. Repeated heat stresscan
cause the plastic material to deteriorate and pieces of the pulley can break
off. Broken pieces of the pulley can get caught between the pulley and the drive
belt, causing the drive belt to come off and resulting in the driver needing
increased effort to steer the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers
will replace the power steering pump drive belt tension adjuster pulley free of
charge. The safety recall began on June 28, 2010. 10V-250
