DECEMBER 2007 -- Suzuki is recalling 40,424 MY 2006-2007 Grand Vitara vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions for failing to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 114, “Theft Protection.” The automatic transmission selector lever "park" lock function may be inoperative due to a sticking shift lock arm. The shift lever may be able to be shifted out of "park" with the key removed and without depressing the brake pedal. This can give rise to increased incidents of crashes resulting from the roll away of parked vehicles as a result of inadvertently moving the shift lever from the "park" position when the parking brake is not fully engaged. Dealers will replace the shift lock module. The recall is expected to begin during January 2008. 07V-554

SEPTEMBER 2007 -- Suzuki is recalling 93,963 MY 2004-2006 Forenza and Reno passenger vehicles equipped with daytime running lights (DRL). Headlamp low beam or DRL function may be inoperative due to a melted splice pack on the wiring harness. Inappropriate lighting could reduce visibility of vehicles and increase the potential for a crash. Dealers will splice the power circuit wires for the low-beam headlamps and daytime running lamps. The recall is expected to begin in three phases, starting at the end of October 2007 and concluding by the middle of December 2007. 07V-452
