The problem
Suzuki is recalling certain model year 2010 kizashi passenger vehicles manufactured from October 13, 2009 through May 31, 2010. The hinged door of the center lower box located in the front dashboard area fails to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 201, "occupant protection in interior impact."
The risk
The door May open in a crash, increasing the risk of injury to the vehicle's occupants.
The fix
Suzuki will notify owners and dealers will replace the instrument panel center lower box of the affected vehicles with a new part free of charge. The safety recall began on July 13, 2010. Owners May contact Suzuki at 1-714-996-7040.
