Suzuki KIZASHI in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Suzuki KIZASHI is named on 6 American notices. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The American register

Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

Issue:
On certain cars, due to the seating posture/position of the occupant, the occupant classification system (OCS) may not work properly. This could cause the airbag system to turn off the passenger-front airbag even when an adult is seated in the front passenger seat.
Note: When the front passenger-front airbag is turned off, the PASS AIR BAG OFF indicator will light.Safety Risk:
In a crash where an airbag is required, an airbag that does not deploy could increase the risk of injury for an adult passenger.Corrective Actions:
Suzuki will mail a letter to owners to advise of this problem. A second letter will be sent once a corrective action has been determined.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2019217.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Suzuki Kizashi, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Suzuki: 132 in the register, and 594 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2019.
