Exterior lighting — SwitchCampaign 05V022000 · 28 Jan 2005
Problem: On certain passenger vehicles, the brake light switch may become misadjusted if an upward/rearward force is applied to the brake pedal.

Risk: If the brake lights remain on continuously while driving,a following driver may not know when your brakes have been applied, and a rear-end crash could occur without prior warning. This condition may also discharge the vehicle's battery, and, the automatic transmission torque converter clutch, cruise control and traction control system, if equipped, will become disabled.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the brake light switch free of charge. The recall began on march 16, 2005. Owners may contact suzuki at 1-800-934-0934.
