The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has announced a recall of 73 2011 and 2012 Suzuki Equator pickup trucks.

“Some of the bolts that connect the engine oil cooler and the engine oil filter to the engine in these vehicles may have been manufactured to below specification strength,” said NHTSA in its recalls summary of the problem. “As a result, the bolt may break at the oil filter attachment point and can cause an engine oil leak. If there is an engine oil leak, the engine oil pressure would drop and the engine could seize, increasing the risk of a crash.”

An identical problem with the Nissan Frontier—because the Frontier and Equator are identical vehicles under the hood—was identified by the NHTSA earlier this month.

Suzuki dealers will replace the connector bolts. The recall is expected to begin on January 19. Owners can contact Suzuki at (714) 996-7040.
