On 15 sep 2008, my wife was driving her 2007 suzuki grand vitara, I was in the passenger seat, and our 2 small children were in the rear. A driver in a ford pickup ran a red light and t-boned us on the drivers side, near the rear door & rear wheel well, near where the air bag sensor is, at appr 30-35 MPH. None of the side air bags deployed.

I see that you have recalls on some vehicles for the daytime headlights over heating. It is also happening on the 07 suzuki grand vitara. I have to replace my headlights at least once a year from the over heating issue and it also has a rubber burning smell. If my vehicle is recalled how do I go about getting it fixed if I havent even got called for even the past recalls on my vehicle like the airbag reccall... Please inform me on how to do so.
