Suzuki has issued a recall for 5,107 Kizashi sedans from the 2010 model year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The recall affects models built between Oct. 13, 2009, and May 31, 2010, due to a problem with a door. The hinged door of the center lower box on the dashboard doesn’t meet federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 201, “Occupant Protection in Interior Impact.” In the event of an accident, the door may swing open, which could injure a vehicle occupant. You can find out when your car was manufactured by checking the label on the driver’s doorjamb.
Dealers will inspect and replace the instrument panel center lower box with a new part for free. Owners may contact Suzuki at 714-996-7040 or NHTSA’s hot line at 888-327-4236.
