The report said Suzuki will recall Grand Vitara SUVs built between the 1999 and 2004 model years, as well as XL-7 SUVs built between model years 2001 and 2004.
NHTSA reportedly said the accelerator cable on the vehicles was protected by a plastic cap that could crack, causing the cable to fray and possibly stick and, if that happened, a driver could lose control of a vehicle’s speed.
Reuters said that, in addition to the accelerator cable, Suzuki will conduct another recall on 20,580 Grand Vitaras and XL-7s from the 2003 model year to fix an ignition wiring problem that could cause the engine to stall.
