Suzuki is recalling 69,587 2007-2010 SX4 hatchback and sedan vehicles because screws that hold the outside rear view mirrors to the mirror base can loosen from vibration.

What's wrong?

The outside rear view mirror on 2007-2010 Suzuki SX4 hatchback and sedan vehicles is the mirror assembly mounted on the door, with a mirror base holding it in position. Its job is to give the driver a view along the side and behind the vehicle, so lane changes, backing, and traffic checks are not limited to the inside mirror.

On affected SX4 vehicles, the three screws that secure each outside rear view mirror to its base can loosen from vibration. As those screws back out, the mirror loses the firm mounting it needs to stay correctly positioned. That makes the outside mirror less stable and less reliable as a visibility aid.

There is no warning sign before failure. If the mirror feels loose, shifts position, or does not stay aimed after adjustment, treat that as a reason to have the recall checked before relying on that mirror in traffic.

Who's affected?

Covers one SX4 model across 4 model years, all tied to the same exterior rearview mirror component.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.

What's the safety risk?

If an outer rear view mirror falls off, the driver has less visibility and the risk of a crash increases. Schedule service soon and drive cautiously until the mirror base screws are replaced. Repair will be free at any franchised Suzuki dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2007-2010 Suzuki SX4 is included in this recall.
  2. Contact Suzuki customer service at 1-887-697-8985 for current dealer repair direction.
  3. Ask for the free outside rear-view mirror base-screw replacement that keeps the mirror secured to the vehicle.
  4. Bring the recall notice if Suzuki mailed one. If not, reference recall number 10V513 when you call.
  5. Drive with extra care until the repair is complete because a loose outside rear-view mirror reduces visibility.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Suzuki technician replaces the base screws on both outer rear view mirrors, the fasteners that hold each mirror to its base. The dealer repair will be free once available. The work is meant to stop vibration from loosening the mirror screws, which keeps the outside mirrors secured to the vehicle. Parts and labor are covered under the recall.
