Filing in context
The Seat Belt is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 55 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 14 Suzuki notifications from 2022 in this archive. For scale, 1,369 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 5 years and 11 months.
Defect
The child restraint system (CRS) compatibility table in the owner's manual omits a required note regarding the installation of ISO/R3-specification CRS units. This omission means the vehicle does not conform to Article 22 of the Safety Standards. There is no functional problem with the CRS attachment mechanism itself.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the owner's manual with a revised version that includes the required note regarding installation of ISO/R3-specification CRS units.
