A CRACK HAS FORMED IN THE AREA WHERE THE LIQUID/VAPOR SEPARATOR BRACKET IS WELDED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. I INVESTIGATED WITH A BOROSCOPE--IMAGE ATTACHED. THIS IS ALLOWING FUEL LEAKAGE TO OCCUR THROUGH THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE 2003-2006 RECALL (ATTACHED PDF). AFTER COMMUNICATING WITH THE SUZUKI DEALERSHIP, THE DISTRICT MANAGER REFUSED TO REPAIR THE GAS LEAKAGE.
