Recalls- Shift selector defect. (NHTSA 14V811000) Affected 60,823 vehicles. The shift selector can move out of Park without pressing the brake. This may cause unexpected rolling and increase crash risk. Dealers replace the shift selector assembly and inspect or replace the shift knob free of charge.
- Evaporative canister vent blockage. (NHTSA 14V464000) Affected 19,249 vehicles. Spider webs can block the vent hose creating excessive negative pressure in the fuel tank, which may crack and leak fuel increasing fire risk. Dealers replace the vent line with one that has a filter and replace the fuel tank if needed free of charge.
- Fuel system vent dust blockage. (NHTSA 18V769000) Affected 21,063 vehicles. Dust can restrict vent line airflow resulting in fuel tank cracking and leaks, raising fire risk. When parts are available, dealers will install a cover, relocate the suction filter, and replace the fuel cap and tank with improved parts at no cost.
- Passenger seat sensor malfunction. (NHTSA 19V187000) Affected 31,302 vehicles. Front passenger leather seat may shrink under heat and humidity causing occupant classification sensor errors. Incorrect detection can cause the air bag to deploy when a child is present, increasing injury risk. Dealers replace the seat bottom cushion free of charge.
- Passenger air bag deactivation error. (NHTSA 19V343000) Affected 21,052 vehicles. The occupant classification system may misclassify an adult as a child, deactivating the front air bag. This prevents air bag deployment in crashes, increasing injury risk. Dealers replace the passenger seat cushion including the OCS mat free of charge.
- Transmission control module failure. (NHTSA 18V331000) Affected 5,786 vehicles. The TCM may fail causing reduced speed or acceleration, which increases crash risk. Dealers will replace the TCM free of charge.
Owners with repeated repairs or safety-related defects should consider consulting their state’s lemon law resources to understand their possible rights regarding unresolved issues or recall repairs.

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.
