Suzuki has issued a recall for the 2010-2013 SX4 and the 2010-2013 Kizashi, affecting more than 60,000 vehicles.
The company has cited a problem with the shift selector, which sometimes allows the transmission to be moved out of ‘park’ without first depressing the brake pedal. The shift-lock failure is said to be caused by a combination of a tilted detent pin and high temperature conditions.

The issue can allow the vehicle to unexpectedly roll away, increasing the risk of a crash and injuries, though it is unclear if any accidents have been blamed on the defect.
Service technicians will install a new shift selector assembly to resolve the problem, with repairs expected to begin by late January.
