The 2004 Suzuki Forenza has 2 recalls, both involving the headlight electrical system, with the more serious being a headlamp switch or daytime running light module that can overheat and melt, raising the risk of a fire near the steering column.
The second recall involves the wiring splice pack that connects power to the headlamps. Poor contact between wire terminals generates heat that can melt that connector, causing the headlights to stop working and leaving the driver without forward visibility at night.

At a glance
What can fail
Poor electrical contact between wire terminals in the headlamp power circuit creates excessive heat, which can melt the connector splice. This may cause headlamps to flicker or stop working entirely.
What the fix does
Dealers will reconnect the affected wires using two heat-shrink crimps to restore proper electrical contact and prevent heat buildup.
