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. Built 2005\-05\-24 to 2006\-05\-31. - [10V250000](/recalls/nhtsa/10V250000.md), 2010-06-09: STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:PUMP.

Issue: On certain vehicles, the occupant classification system \(OCS\) may not work properly. This could cause the airbag system not to turn off the airbag when an infant or child is seated in the front passenger seat. This could also cause the passenger seat belt reminder to activate when the seat is empty. Note: This problem only affects vehicles with leather seats. Safety Risk: In a crash, an airbag that deploys in front of an infant or child increases the risk of injury. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a Suzuki service provider to have the front passenger seat cushion replaced. - [2018549](/recalls/tc/2018549.md), 2018-10-05: Steering. On certain vehicles, the tension adjuster pulley for the drive belt which operates the power steering pump and air conditioner compressor \(if equipped\) has an outer portion that is made of plastic. Repeated heat stress can cause the plastic material to deteriorate and pieces of the pulley can break off. Broken pieces of the pulley can get caught between the pulley and the drive belt, causing the drive belt to come off and resulting in the driver needing increased effort to steer the vehicle. This situation could result in a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the power steering pump drive belt tension adjuster pulley. Note: This is an expansion of recall 2010\-197. - [2013305](/recalls/tc/2013305.md), 2013-09-17: 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. - [2010197](/recalls/tc/2010197.md), 2010-06-11: Engine. On certain vehicles, the tension adjuster pulley for the drive belt which operates the power steering pump and air conditioner compressor \(if equipped\) has an outer portion that is made of plastic. Repeated heat stress can cause the plastic material to deteriorate and pieces of the pulley can break off. Broken pieces of the pulley can get caught between the pulley and the drive belt, causing the drive belt to come off and resulting in the driver needing increased effort to steer the vehicle. This situation could result in a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the power steering pump drive belt tension adjuster pulley. - [2007391](/recalls/tc/2007391.md), 2007-12-06: Other. On certain vehicles, the ignition/park shift interlock system may become inoperable. This can allow the shifter to be moved out of the PARK position with the ignition key removed. This could allow the vehicle to roll away, possibly causing property damage and/or personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the shift lock module on the shift lever assembly. - [2005378](/recalls/tc/2005378.md), 2005-12-02: Powertrain. On certain vehicles, the rear differential left bearing retainer may be cracked due to a manufacturing defect. A cracked retainer can allow oil leakage from the rear differential. With continued use, this can lead to the rear differential gears becoming locked and the vehicle disabled. Correction: Dealers will replace the left\-side rear differential retainer. ## Check a VIN - [NHTSA recall lookup by VIN, United States](https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls) - [Transport Canada recall search, Canada](https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng) Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada.
