The problem

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.
