2007 SUZUKI RENO — Complaint #1624171

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW:THORAX filed November 27, 2019

NHTSA complaint #1624171 (ODI reference 11282629) concerns a 2007 SUZUKI RENO and was filed on November 27, 2019. The owner reports the failure occurred on November 26, 2019. The vehicle had 138,080 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Washington based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as air bags:side/window:thorax, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 1, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same SUZUKI RENO cohort independently describe similar air bags:side/window:thorax failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2007 SUZUKI RENO shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
