2005 SUZUKI FORENZA RECALL - #12V397000
RECALL FOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM : WIRING : INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
Suzuki is recalling certain model year 2004-2006 Forenza and model year 2005-2006 Reno vehicles manufactured from September 23, 2003, through March 7, 2006. 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.

| Description |
Suzuki is recalling certain model year 2004-2006 Forenza and model year 2005-2006 Reno vehicles manufactured from September 23, 2003, through March 7, 2006.

I love the car, however I am having an electrical issue that no on can figure out.. My Engine Cooling System fuse keeps blowing as soon as the key in the car is turned to start. I have not found anything on this issue for Suzuki and as of yet suzuki has not acknowledged this being an issue.. I wish that I could fix this or find out what is causing it.

Love the car. BUT my headlights on low beam keeps shoting the bulbs. It is not safe to get out of town. I live in a rural town and this is not safe for me.
