Anyone have any info on this service bulletin? I had read a mention of coolant leak being discovered on one of the long term testers but they never pursued it, maybe because they are not making the payments.

I haven't heard anything about this. I haven't noticed any leaks but I'll check my radiator next time I'm out.

I hadn't seen that yet. It looks like it applies to the Equator and not the Kizashi though?

Oh, that's strange if you just google the number it appears to be for the Equator, but I think the pitstop plus page is probably the best source so if it is on there it is probably for the kizashi.

I would not get too excited, TSB's only apply when there is a problem.

My Kizzi had this problem. I had a coolant smell for 4 months and some white stains on the pump and lower area. We found coolant (about an ounce) after letting the car idle for 20mins at the dealer.

It stoppped and hasn't leaked. Cars under warranty and I've had 4 new Suzuki's in the last 7 years. Ever time I had warranty work done (twice so what ever it's worth) they went over the top. The rental car was paid for (Enterprise and they authorized an H3 when my XL7 went down, Lancer GTS when my SX4 had an issue) and I laid out nothing. With the SX4 it was scheduled and the Lancer was waiting for me when I got there, 2 days later and they repaired more than was needed, extended the warranty, wash and wax, cleaned the interior and filled up the tank. I was more than pleased.
