Problem: Suzuki Motor of America, Inc.

Risk: If electrical power is lost, the engine would stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free fix: Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will install a cover for the ignition switch connector, and any corroded ignition lead wire and wire harnesses will be replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began January 19, 2016. Owners may contact Suzuki customer service at 1-714-996-7040. Suzuki's number for this recall is 2A53.

Electrical System › Wiring (15V851000, 2015-12-18)
