2011 SUZUKI KIZASHI Complaints and Recall Information
The 2011 SUZUKI KIZASHI has 0 complaints and 21 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to fuel system defects and occupant classification sensor malfunctions affecting the airbag system.
There are 21 recalls addressing various safety and mechanical systems on the 2011 Suzuki Kizashi. These recalls primarily involve the power train, fuel system, airbag sensors, and seat components.
Recalls- Shift selector defect. Recall 14V811000 affects 60,823 vehicles built between 2009 and 2012. The shift selector can move out of "Park" without pressing the brake pedal, risking unexpected vehicle roll and potential crashes. Suzuki will replace the shift selector assembly and possibly the shift knob at no cost.
- Evaporative canister vent blockage. Recall 14V464000 involves 19,249 vehicles from 2009 to 2012. Spider webs can block the vent hose, creating negative pressure that may crack the fuel tank and cause leaks, increasing fire risk. Dealers will replace the vent line with a filtered version and the fuel tank if needed.
- Fuel tank cracking risk. Recall 18V769000 affects 21,063 vehicles built from 2010 to 2013. Dust entry in the vent line can restrict airflow causing excessive negative pressure and possible fuel tank cracking. Repairs include installing protective covers, relocating filters, and replacing the fuel cap and tank with improved parts.
- Passenger seat airbag sensor malfunction. Recall 19V187000 covers 31,302 vehicles. High humidity and temperature cause leather seat shrinkage, leading the occupant classification system (OCS) to misdetect adult or child presence. This may cause the airbag to deploy when inappropriate, increasing injury risk. Dealers replace the seat bottom cushion free of charge.
- Passenger airbag deactivation error. Recall 19V343000 involves 21,052 vehicles. The OCS might wrongly classify an adult as a child, deactivating the front passenger airbag and raising injury risk in a crash. Suzuki will replace the passenger seat cushion and OCS mat assembly at no cost.
Owners dealing with repeated repairs or unresolved recalls related to safety defects should review their rights under state lemon laws. Consulting a qualified attorney familiar with automotive defects can provide guidance on potential remedies.

AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION
Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling 2010-2013 Kizashi vehicles. The front passenger seat Occupant Classification System (OCS) may misclassify an adult occupant as child and deactivate the front air bag.

SEATS
Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain 2010-2013 Kizashi and 2006-2013 Grand Vitara vehicles. The front passenger leather seat may shrink due to high humidity and high temperature. As a result, the occupant classification system (OCS) sensor mat may not accurately detect if an adult or child is occupying the seat.
Risk: In the event of a crash necessitating airbag deployment, an incorrect classification may result in the passenger frontal air bag deploying even if there is a child in the front passenger seat, increasing their risk of injury.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain 2010-2013 Suzuki Kizashi vehicles. Dust can enter the vent line that provides fresh air to the carbon canister, restricting its air flow and possibly creating excessive negative pressure in the fuel tank which may result in the fuel tank cracking.
Risk: A cracked tank may leak fuel, increasing the risk of a fire.
