What can fail
The silicone connector plug and electrical extension cord on certain Suzuki accessory engine block heaters can overheat. Prolonged high temperatures cause material breakdown and electrical short circuits, which could create arcing and ignite a fire in the engine compartment.
What the fix does
Block heaters will be replaced or refurbished with new units or components that have an improved design to prevent overheating.
