If a suzuki 'bulletin' is issued, are they issued worldwide or just nationally?

I am referring to this bulletin which I found on a forum from South Africa.

Issue No:Q-SN-006-R1
Subject: Oil leak
Jimny older than vin: JSAFJB43V00453307

This bulletin is to inform you of the modification of Propeller Shaft No.1 For SN413.

The customer may complain of an oil leak from the cap part of the sliding yoke. This is due to the insufficient performance of the sealing adhesive used on the cap during quick acceleration.

If you encounter this please take your Jimny to your dealer.



I have the above problem on my Suzuki Jimny and my vehicle falls within the VIN numbers but Suzuki NZ have offered no help with the repair? Are they (Suzuki NZ) obliged to if there is a bulletin issued with the above recommendations?

I am not the original purchaser of the vehicle.

The local dealer suggested replacing the drive shaft to fix the issue but could not offer any help/ support (quoted NZ$600).


Thanks Crispin

Have you made any progress with the dealers over this yet?

I have the same problem I think, my rear gearbox seal was leaking so I replaced it with a new one it it's leaking to. Mine is a 2008 model

My 99 Jimny had that problem too.
No longer concerns me I sold it. (But wish I didn't)

Had the same problem on an o6 vvt, fixed it ourselves with JBWeld, that what a transmission specalist advised, no more problem.

Probably what caused the output bearing to fail on mine.
