2006–2007 Suzuki Forenza & 2006–2007 Suzuki Reno recall: seat belt
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain passenger vehicles, the front seat belt tongue will not LATCH into the buckle and, in rare cases, even the locked tongue will pop out by low stretching force. If the buckle does not LATCH completely, the buckle could release without pressing the release button.
💥 The risk
These buckle malfunctions, which could prevent a person from using the seat belt or could cause the seat belt to fail to function as designed, CAN increase the risk of injury in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the front driver and passenger seat belt buckles with the improved part free of charge. The recall began on august 31, 2007. Owners may contact suzuki at 1-800-934-0934.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
