Seats And Restraints

Transport Canada recall 2019217 · manufacturer campaign 127

9 May 2019

Transport Canada lists: Kizashi 2010–2013

What is wrong

On certain cars, due to the seating posture/position of the occupant, the occupant classification system (OCS) may not work properly. This could cause the airbag system to turn off the passenger-front airbag even when an adult is seated in the front passenger seat. Note: When the front passenger-front airbag is turned off, the PASS AIR BAG OFF indicator will light.

Why it matters

In a crash where an airbag is required, an airbag that does not deploy could increase the risk of injury for an adult passenger.

What the dealer will do

Suzuki will mail a letter to owners to advise of this problem. A second letter will be sent once a corrective action has been determined.

11 March 2019

Transport Canada lists: Grand 2006–2013 · Kizashi 2010–2013

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the occupant classification system (OCS) may not work properly. This could cause the airbag system not to turn off the airbag when an infant or child is seated in the front passenger seat. This could also cause the passenger seat belt reminder to activate when the seat is empty. Note: This problem only affects vehicles with leather seats.

Why it matters

In a crash, an airbag that deploys in front of an infant or child increases the risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a Suzuki service provider to have the front passenger seat cushion replaced.

24 May 2018

Transport Canada lists: Kizashi 2013 · SX 4 2013

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a circuit board inside the Transmission Control Module (TCM) may develop a crack, preventing it from controlling the transmission properly. This could result in reduced vehicle speed and poor acceleration, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the TCM with a reprogrammed unit.

18 December 2014

Transport Canada lists: Kizashi 2010–2013 · SX 4 2010–2013

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the detent pin within the shift lock structure may have been incorrectly positioned. An incorrectly positioned detent pin in combination with high temperature conditions could allow the transmission shift selector to be moved out of the PARK position without depressing the brake pedal. Depending which gear the driver selects, the vehicle could begin to move forward or backward immediately. This movement could result in property damage, or cause the vehicle to strike a bystander, potentially resulting in injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the shift selector assembly with an improved part which incorporates an extended detent pin.

18 November 2013

Transport Canada lists: Kizashi 2013 · SX 4 2013

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the bolts that fasten the drive plate to the torque converter may not have been sufficiently tightened during vehicle assembly. Should these bolts loosen, they could become caught between the drive plate and the cylinder block, which may cause the engine to stall, resulting in a loss of motive power. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will affect repairs.
