Recalls for 2006 Suzuki Verona Premium
2006 SUZUKI FORENZA
NHTSA Campaign ID: 07V452000
Component: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Manufacturer: AMERICAN SUZUKI MOTOR CORP.
Manufacture Dates: 09/23/2003 - 01/18/2006
Potential Units Affected: 93963
Defect Description:
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, HEADLAMP LOW BEAM OR DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT (DRL) FUNCTION MAY BE INOPERATIVE DUE TO A MELTED SPLICE PACK ON THE WIRING HARNESS.
Consequence:
INAPPROPRIATE LIGHTING COULD REDUCE VISIBILITY OF VEHICLES AND INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR A CRASH.
Action to take:
DEALERS WILL SPLICE THE POWER CIRCUIT WIRES FOR THE LOW-BEAM HEADLAMPS AND DRL FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL WILL BE MAILED IN THREE PHASES, STARTING AT THE END OF OCTOBER 2007 AND CONCLUDING BY THE END OF JANUARY 2008;. OWNERS MAY CONTACT SUZUKI AT 1-800-934-0934.
2006 SUZUKI FORENZA
NHTSA Campaign ID: 14V262000
Component: EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
Manufacturer: Suzuki Motor of America, Inc.
Manufacture Dates: 09/01/2003 - 07/30/2008
Potential Units Affected: 184244
Defect Description:
Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2004-2008 Forenza vehicles, and 2005-2008 Reno vehicles manufactured from September 1, 2003, through July 30, 2008. In the affected vehicles, heat may be generated in the headlamp switch or daytime running light (DRL) module which could melt the headlamp switch or the DRL module.
Consequence:
If the heat generated within the headlamp switch or DRL module located on the left side of the steering column melts the headlamp switch or DRL module, there is an increased risk of a fire.
Action to take:
Suzuki will replace the signal switch and add a jumper relay kit and will replace the DRL Module in teh instrument panel harness. Suzuki distributed to owners an interim letter on July 30, 2014. The recall began October 29, 2014. Owners may contact Suzuki at 1-800-934-0934. Suzuki's number for this recall is XA.
2006 SUZUKI FORENZA
NHTSA Campaign ID: 07V315000
Component: SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY
Manufacturer: AMERICAN SUZUKI MOTOR CORP.
Manufacture Dates: 05/06/2005 - 12/20/2006
Potential Units Affected: 75697
Defect Description:
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE FRONT SEAT BELT TONGUE WILL NOT LATCH INTO THE BUCKLE AND, IN RARE CASES, EVEN THE LOCKED TONGUE WILL POP OUT BY LOW STRETCHING FORCE. IF THE BUCKLE DOES NOT LATCH COMPLETELY, THE BUCKLE COULD RELEASE WITHOUT PRESSING THE RELEASE BUTTON.
Consequence:
THESE BUCKLE MALFUNCTIONS, WHICH COULD PREVENT A PERSON FROM USING THE SEAT BELT OR COULD CAUSE THE SEAT BELT TO FAIL TO FUNCTION AS DESIGNED, CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN A CRASH.
Action to take:
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELT BUCKLES WITH THE IMPROVED PART FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 31, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT SUZUKI AT 1-800-934-0934.
2006 SUZUKI FORENZA
NHTSA Campaign ID: 12V397000
Component: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
Manufacturer: AMERICAN SUZUKI MOTOR CORP.
Manufacture Dates: -
Potential Units Affected: 101688
Defect Description:
Suzuki is recalling certain model year 2004-2006 Forenza and model year 2005-2006 Reno vehicles manufactured from September 23, 2003, through March 7, 2006. Increased resistance due to poor contact between the terminals of certain wires can generate heat that can melt the splice pack used to connect the power circuit wires for the headlamps. 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 to take:
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.
