What is being recalled
Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling 2010-2013 Kizashi vehicles. The front passenger seat Occupant Classification System (OCS) may misclassify an adult occupant as child and deactivate the front air bag.
Why it is dangerous
The deactivated front air bag will not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
