Recall 14V464 affects 19,249 2010-2013 Suzuki Kizashi vehicles for blocked evaporative canister vent lines. Repair is free at any franchised Suzuki dealer.
Suzuki is recalling 19,249 2010-2013 Kizashi vehicles because spiders can weave webs in the evaporative canister vent hose and block fuel tank venting. The blocked hose can create excessive negative pressure, crack the fuel tank, and cause a fuel leak, which raises fire risk; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
On 2010-2013 Suzuki Kizashi vehicles, the evaporative canister vent hose is part of the gasoline vapor system. That hose lets the fuel tank breathe through the evaporative emissions canister, which captures fuel vapors instead of releasing them to the air. The tank depends on that vent path to keep pressure balanced as fuel is used.
In affected Kizashi vehicles, spiders can weave a web inside the vent hose. The web blocks the hose, so the tank no longer vents correctly. As fuel leaves the tank, the blockage allows excessive negative pressure to build inside the tank instead of letting outside air balance it.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner cannot identify this blockage by feel or sound before it causes a problem, so waiting for a symptom is the wrong test.
Who's affected?
Each listed Kizashi model year points to the same fuel-system component, so the component alone does not narrow the recall further.
| 2013 Suzuki Kizashi | fuel system |
|---|---|
| 2011 Suzuki Kizashi | fuel system |
| 2012 Suzuki Kizashi | fuel system |
| 2010 Suzuki Kizashi | fuel system |
| Units affected | 19,249 |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific sedan is included.
What's the safety risk?
Negative pressure can crack the fuel tank and create a fuel leak, increasing the risk of a fire. If your VIN is included, schedule the recall repair soon and ask the dealer to inspect any sign of leaking fuel before you keep driving. Repair will be free at any franchised Suzuki dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2010-2013 Suzuki Kizashi is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Suzuki dealer and ask whether the free evaporative canister vent-line repair is open for your VIN.
- Reference recall number 14V464 and Suzuki recall VG when you call.
- Ask the dealer to inspect for spider-web blockage in the vent line; Suzuki replaces the filtered vent line and replaces the fuel tank if the blockage damaged it.
- Avoid parking near open flames or ignition sources if you smell fuel or see signs of a fuel leak before the repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Suzuki technician replaces the evaporative canister vent line with a new vent line that has a filter on the end. The technician also checks whether the current vent line is blocked by a spider web. If it is blocked, the fuel tank is replaced as part of the recall repair. The source remedy says Suzuki began notifying owners on August 12, 2014. The dealer repair is free when performed under the recall.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 14V464?
Recall 14V464 covers 19,249 2010-2013 Suzuki Kizashi vehicles with an evaporative canister vent hose that can become blocked by a spider web. The blockage creates negative pressure in the fuel tank, which can crack the tank, cause a fuel leak, and increase fire risk.
What should I do if my 2010-2013 Suzuki Kizashi is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific Kizashi is included in recall 14V464. If it is, contact a Suzuki service dealer and reference recall number 14V464 or Suzuki recall VG. The dealer repair is free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost. Suzuki dealers will replace the evaporative canister vent line with a filtered vent line for free, and will also replace the fuel tank for free when spider-web obstruction is found.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is a fuel leak and increased fire risk. When the vent hose is blocked, negative pressure can crack the fuel tank. If your VIN is included, schedule the free dealer repair and ask the service desk what to do if you smell fuel.
What if I bought my Suzuki Kizashi used?
The free recall repair still applies. Recalls follow the vehicle, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific Kizashi is included, then call a Suzuki service dealer with recall number 14V464 or Suzuki recall VG.
