Suzuki recalling Verona sedan over fire risk

Though no longer operating in the United States, Suzuki’s automobile division has announced a new recall involving 26,000 mid-size sedans.

Suzuki announced on Tuesday that it is recalling 26,000 Verona sedans from the 2004-2006 model years due to daytime running lights that can overheat and cause a fire. All vehicles included in the recall were produced by General Motors in Korea.

According to Suzuki, the Verona’s daytime running lights can cause a transistor located in the car’s instrument panel to overheat. If that component overheats, it’s possible that the panel could melt and catch fire.

Suzuki isn’t aware of any fires or injuries linked to the recall.

If Suzuki’s latest safety campaign seems familiar, that’s because it is. Back in May Suzuki recalled certain Forenza and Reno models because their daytime running lights were determined to be fire hazards. Like the Verona, the Forenza and Reno were both made by GM.

Suzuki filed for bankruptcy in the U.S. in 2012.
