This can result in intermittent or total loss of low/high beam headlamp function.
Consequence:
If the headlamps fail to function, this will lead to reduced driver visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
Action:
Suzuki will notify owners, and Suzuki dealers will reconnect the affected wires with two heat-shrink crimps, free of charge. The safety recall began on September 25, 2012. Owners may contact Suzuki at 1-877-697-8985.
