Suzuki Recalls Grand Vitaras, SX4s

To those in the know, Suzuki’s excellent and diminutive four wheel drive offerings have provided reliable and well-designed transportation like only Japanese-assembled vehicles can.
But apparently owners of 2009-2010 model year SX4s and Grand Vitaras are being instructed to take their vehicles to their local dealerships in order to determine if their vehicle may be afflicted with a faulty belt tensioner pulley.
