The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

American Suzuki Motor Corp. is recalling 2,830 model year 2007 Suzuki XL-7 vehicles. The recall affects vehicles originally sold or currently registered in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Texas that were manufactured between June 13, 2006, and December 22, 2006.

The defect involves a condition where the plastic supply or return port on the fuel pump module may crack. This cracking can cause a fuel leak. If fuel leakage occurs in the presence of an ignition source, it may result in a fire.
