DECEMBER
2007 -- Suzuki is recalling 40,424 MY
2006-2007 Grand Vitara vehicles equipped with automatic
transmissions for failing to comply with the requirements of
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 114, Theft
Protection. The automatic transmission selector lever "park"
lock function may be inoperative due to a sticking shift lock
arm. The shift lever may be able to be shifted out of "park"
with the key removed and without depressing the brake pedal.
This can give rise to increased incidents of crashes resulting
from the roll away of parked vehicles as a result of
inadvertently moving the shift lever from the "park" position
when the parking brake is not fully engaged. Dealers will
replace the shift lock module. The recall is expected to begin
during January 2008. 07V-554
SEPTEMBER 2007 -- Suzuki
is recalling 93,963 MY
2004-2006 Forenza and Reno
passenger vehicles equipped
with daytime running lights
(DRL). Headlamp low beam or
DRL function may be
inoperative due to a melted
splice pack on the wiring
harness. Inappropriate
lighting could reduce
visibility of vehicles and
increase the potential for a
crash. Dealers will splice
the power circuit wires for
the low-beam headlamps and
daytime running lamps. The
recall is expected to begin
in three phases, starting at
the end of October 2007 and
concluding by the middle of
December 2007. 07V-452
The Suzuki recall involves 40,424
Grand Vitaras from the 2006-07 model year. The SUV's automatic
transmission may slip out of park when the engine is shut off,
the safety agency said. When the condition occurs and the
parking brake isn't fully engaged, the vehicle may roll, causing
a crash, according to NHTSA.....
