I have just had mine in for the 2 month check along with fitting a rear camera and mudflaps and I asked them to investigate the noise as I have had it since day 1.

They have just called to say that they have confirmed the noise is in line with the bulletin, Q-A6G-004, and will seek approval from Suzuki GB before ordering the parts for fitment.

So in a nutshell - exactly what problem is this addressing? Is it sloppy clearances, manufacturing, design or assembly issue? Should I worry? Am I facing a minor irritating noise or am I likely to suffer catastrophic failure at 58.7 mph in 5th gear?

I wouldnt be that concerned its something to do with slack in some chain in the xfer box when taking off from first at 2k rpm or more.
I have spoken to another owner.. who is a mechanic and he has the same issue.
He is not overly worried but is aware of it.

Also Bruce .. i wonder if they even did the job..
Its a bit of a worry that the noise is still there.
Anyway early days yet the issue does seem to be wide spread and common.

Dealer have tested pretty much everything on my Jimny this week, I'm a little bit concerned about that noise still there even have the transfer case revised kit installed, they changed both transfer case and gear box oil and today I'm taking it to do some offroad, it stay in 4H for around 3hours 4L for around 2hours, drive it back around city straight after that, guess what I found? The noise is unnoticeable, only does it on some really steep hill and the dB is lots smaller than before, so from this point it seems like the more you do offroading the left chance it makes noise......

Yeah
I found if you just put it into 4h then back into 2wd it seems to go away for a while...
Strange..
