AI groups complaints by meaning; the groups are approximate. Share ratio compares the problem’s share of this vehicle’s complaints with its share on other vehicles over the last 24 months (shown from 3 recent complaints). A 2× ratio means twice the complaint share, not twice the failure risk. Flags mark unusual shares or recent surges after an AI review of the complaint content. “First signal” does not mean the pattern has persisted continuously.How recall estimates are calculated.
Recalls
NHTSA recall #07V307000July 15, 200714,251 vehicles affected
power train: manual transmission
On certain vehicles equipped with 5-SPEED manual transmissions, due to improper shape of the clip, the retaining clip that keeps the gear shift cable attached to the gear shift lever Can contact the gear shift lever housing if excessive lateral force is applied when shifting to first gear.
Repeated shifting in this manner Can eventually cause the retaining clip to break. If the retaining clip breaks, the shift cable Can become disconnected from the shift lever, resulting in loss of the ability to change transmission gears.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the gear shift cable retaining clip with a clip that has a different shape. The recall began on august 13, 2007. Owners may contact american Suzuki at 1-800-934-0934.
