The 2005 Suzuki Forenza has 2 recalls, both involving the headlight electrical system, with the more serious being a headlamp switch or daytime running light module near the steering column that can overheat and catch fire.
The second recall involves a separate point in the headlight wiring where poor terminal contact generates heat that can melt the splice pack connecting the headlamp power circuit, causing the headlights to fail entirely 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.
