Remember the <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/equator">Suzuki Equator</a> - the overlooked, rebadged version of the <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/frontier">Nissan Frontier</a> that went on sale in early 2009? There hasn't been much to talk about the slow-selling Fronquator, but now a recall involving vehicles manufactured between November 2009 and March 2010 (a whopping total of 582 units) brings the little truck into the front of our minds again.<br />
<br />
According to the official recall statement from NHTSA, the Equator's lower control link bushing collars may not contain welds that meet strength specifications, which can alter the wheel alignment over time. The safety recall is taking place as you read this, and dealers will replace one or both lower control links if necessary. The full details are available in NHTSA's statement, after the jump.<br />
