2008 Suzuki SX4 Campaign 13V405000 6 Sep 2013

AIR BAGS

Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2006-2011 Grand Vitara and 2007-2011 SX4 vehicles. In the affected vehicles, over time, the OCS sensor mat installed in the front passenger seat may fail due to repeated flexing of the mat from use of the seat. As a result, during a crash necessitating deployment, the air bag will deploy regardless of whether the front seat occupant is an adult or a child.

Risk: Air bag deployment with a child in the front passenger side seat increases the risk of injury to that child.

Remedy: Suzuki will notify owners and dealers will replace the front passenger seat cushion assembly (which includes the OCS sensor mat) free of charge. Sufficient quantities of parts are not currently available to fix all of the affected vehicles. Owners will be notified of the recall in October 2013 and will receive a second notification when parts are available to have their vehicle repaired. The recall began on May 23, 2014. Owners may contact Suzuki at 1-800-934-0934. Suzuki's recall campaign number is VD.

Suzuki SX4 recalls in Canada

Transport Canada runs its own recall programme. Its campaigns do not always mirror the American ones, so a Canadian owner reading a US-only list is reading about a different car than the one on their driveway.

2012 Suzuki SX4 Recall 2018643 21 Nov 2018 3,628 units in Canada

Steering

On certain vehicles, a defect in the power steering pump could cause it to seize after a long period of vehicle non-operation (such as overnight parking) during cold ambient temperatures. This would unexpectedly increase the steering effort force necessary to steer the vehicle at lower vehicle speeds, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the power steering pump.

2013 Suzuki SX4 Recall 2018276 24 May 2018 1,540 units in Canada

Powertrain

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. Correction: Dealers will replace the TCM with a reprogrammed unit.

2012 Suzuki SX4 Recall 2015415 21 Sep 2015 3,628 units in Canada

2012 Suzuki SX4 Recall 2014578 18 Dec 2014 12,705 units in Canada

Powertrain

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

2013 Suzuki SX4 Recall 2013407 18 Nov 2013 353 units in Canada

Powertrain

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. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.

2008 Suzuki SX4 Recall 2013305 17 Sep 2013 49,125 units in Canada

Airbag

On certain vehicles, the Occupant Classification System may malfunction, causing the airbag warning lamp to illuminate, and could fail to disable the passenger airbag if a child were seated in the front passenger seating position. This could result in an unwarranted airbag deployment in a crash, increasing the risk of injury to a child seated in the front passenger seat. Note: In this situation, the "PASS AIR BAG OFF" light would fail to illuminate, regardless of if a child or adult is seated in the front passenger seat. Correction: Vehicles will receive special extended warranty coverage of 10 years or 200,000 kilometers (whichever comes first) from the date the vehicle was originally placed into service. Under this special coverage program, vehicles which experience this condition will have the occupant detection mat replaced.

2010 Suzuki SX4 Recall 2011041 27 Jan 2011 13,400 units in Canada

Engine

On certain vehicles, the tension adjuster pulley for the drive belt, which operates the alternator, water pump, air conditioner compressor and power steering pump, may contain an improperly manufactured internal spring that can break due to repeated stress. Should the spring break, this would cause the drive belt tension to be maladjusted, allowing the belt to slip. If the belt comes off, the loss of steering power assist would require the driver to exert increased effort to steer the vehicle. This could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Additionally, the loss of water pump function would cause the coolant temperature to rise, which can lead to engine overheating, while the loss of alternator charging ability would lead to battery discharge and eventual engine stall. Correction: Dealers will replace the drive belt tension adjuster pulley.

2011 Suzuki SX4 Recall 2011041 27 Jan 2011 13,400 units in Canada

2008 Suzuki SX4 Recall 2010363 22 Oct 2010 16,611 units in Canada

Visual System

On certain vehicles, the three (3) screws that secure the outside rearview mirrors to the base may come loose due to vibration and, in worst case, the mirror may separate from the vehicle. Absence of rearview mirror(s) increases the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace existing screws with Thread-Lock pre-coated screws.

2010 Suzuki SX4 Recall 2010293 3 Sep 2010 642 units in Canada

Label

On certain vehicles, the Tire & Vehicle Loading Placard (Label) may depict an incorrect tire size.
