Is there a known DPF problem with the Suzuki Grand Vitara?

I was wondering if you know if there is a common fault with the Suzuki Grand Vitara 1.9l diesel's DPF? I'm having trouble with the warranty on my car. Also, how much should this cost to fix?

We haven't heard of many faults with the Grand Vitara, in our experience it's been very reliable and durable. Here's what we've heard to date: honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/suzuki/grand-vitara-lwb-...d

Unfortunately we don't know how much it would be to repair. Phoning a few Suzuki garages would give you an idea.
