  1. Owners/service/other manual (equipment)

    NHTSA 00V286000 Reported 1,593 vehicles potentially affected AMERICAN SUZUKI MOTOR CORP.

    Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS no. 225.s12, "child restraint anchorage systems." the owner's manuals accompanying these vehicles do not have certain written instructions as required by the standard.

    Remedy: Owners will be sent a new owner's manual that contains the information as required by FMVSS no. 225.

    Model years: 2000

  2. Park/neutral start interlock switch (power train)

    NHTSA 98V225002 Reported 1,198 vehicles potentially affected AMERICAN SUZUKI MOTOR CORP.

    Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with an automatic transaxle. The shift lever appears to be in "park," but can easily be moved from the "park" position without the use of the key, transaxle lever detent button, or depressing the brake.

    Remedy: Dealers will replace the shifter assembly. Until the vehicle is serviced, owners are advised when shifting to "park," always apply the park brake before releasing the service brake.

    Model years: 1997

  3. Buckle assembly (seat belts)

    NHTSA 95V103008 Reported 127,155 vehicles potentially affected AMERICAN SUZUKI MOTOR CORP.

    The front safety belt buckle release buttons can break. These red plastic release buttons are marked "press." if a button breaks, pieces can fall into the buckle assembly causing the buckle to operate improperly.

    Remedy: Owners should promptly check the condition and operation of both front safety belt buckles and carefully inspect the red release button for any breaks or cracks. They should ensure that both buckles are operating…

    Model years: 1989, 1990, 1991

  4. Latch (latches/locks/linkages)

    NHTSA 93V189000 Reported 38,229 vehicles potentially affected AMERICAN SUZUKI MOTOR CORP.

    Mislocated attaching spot welds of the hood striker assembly cause cracks to start on the hood inner panel. If cracks occur, the hood striker assembly may not properly engage the hood latch when the hood is closed.

    Remedy: Suzuki will (a) install two bolts and nuts to secure the striker assembly to the hood inner panel, and (b) ensure that the hood latch assembly fasteners are properly tightened.

    Model years: 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993
