TS 35 12103, Special Coverage Extension for Specific Crack(s) in the Cylinder Head
SPECIAL COVERAGE EXTENSION FOR SPECIFIC CRACK(S) IN THE
CYLINDER HEAD.
MODEL(S): GRAND VITARA (JB) WITH 2.4L ENGINE
YEAR: 2009 (START OF PRODUCTION THROUGH JULY, 1 2009)
Engine overheating with possible Internal Engine Noise. The engine coolant
may leak from the cooling jacket into the Camshaft Housing of the Cylinder
Head. There will be no external coolant leak and there will likely be evidence
of coolant contamination in the engine oil.
CAUSE: Suzuki has determined that certain 2009 Grand Vitara vehicles may develop
a crack(s) between cylinder head bolt(s) and casting plug(s).
CORRECTION: A special coverage extension will apply for vehicles beyond the basic
warranty limits. The coverage allows repairs to be made for customers at no
charge for parts and labor up to 7 years or 102,000 miles, whichever comes
first, from the date of first use, at authorized Suzuki service points. Cracks in
locations other than the specified areas of the cylinder head do not qualify for
the coverage extension."
