Suzuki Sx4 S-cross: Front Airbags May Not Deploy Correctly

Suzuki is recalling 10,945 SX4 S-Cross vehicles because the front seat back trim may be stitched incorrectly, making it too strong to tear during airbag deployment. If a collision occurs, the airbag may not inflate through the trim properly. Suzuki will replace the seat back trim on affected vehicles.
