What's wrong?
The daytime running light module on the 2004-2006 Suzuki Verona is an electrical control unit in the instrument panel. It controls the lights that help make the car visible during daytime driving, separate from the owner's normal headlight switch. The module depends on clean electrical contact and controlled heat inside the dashboard.
In affected Verona vehicles, heat builds up inside the daytime running light module. That heat can melt the module housing or internal parts. Once the module is damaged, the daytime running lights or related headlight function can stop working as designed.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner first notices the problem when the exterior lights do not operate correctly, or when the dealer finds heat damage at the module during inspection.
Who's affected?
Vehicles in scope were built from June 1, 2003, through October 30, 2005.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Suzuki technician replaces the daytime running light module in the instrument panel. Suzuki identifies that module as the part that can generate heat and melt, so the repair focuses on removing the affected module and installing the replacement. The dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under recall 14V363. If your VIN is included, ask the Suzuki service desk to confirm the repair procedure for your Verona when you call.
