Exterior lighting — HeadlightsCampaign 14V262000 · 19 May 2014

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.

Seat belts — Buckle assemblyCampaign 07V315000 · 24 Jul 2007

Problem: 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.

Risk: 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.

Remedy: 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.
