Suzuki increased resistance due to poor contact between the terminals of certain wires can generate heat that can melt the splice pack used to connect the power circuit wires for the headlamps.
The short version
AMERICAN SUZUKI MOTOR CORP. reported a problem with the exterior lighting headlights. Here is what owners need to know.
Increased resistance due to poor contact between the terminals of certain wires can generate heat that can melt the splice pack used to connect the power circuit wires for the headlamps. This can result in intermittent or total loss of low/high beam headlamp function.
If the headlamps fail to function, this will lead to reduced driver visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
Suzuki will notify owners, and Suzuki dealers will reconnect the affected wires with two heat-shrink crimps, free of charge.
