QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Forest fires are a fact of life in Northern Manitoba, although the number and severity vary year to year. How prepared do you feel you are to evacuate quickly if the need arose under a disaster management plan scenario?
Poorly prepared. I’d be running around like a chicken with its head cut off. I know better but I’m complacent

Suzuki recalls nearly 102,000 compact cars; headlights can fail due to wiring problem

DETROIT - Suzuki is recalling nearly 102,000 cars in the U.S. to fix a wiring problem that can cause the headlights to go out.

The recall covers Forenza compacts from the 2004 to 2006 model years, and Reno compacts from 2005 and 2006.

The company says wires behind the dashboard can heat up and melt part of the wiring assembly. This can cause the low- and high-beam headlights to fail, increasing the risk of a crash.

It was not clear whether the problem has caused any crashes or injuries.

Dealers will reconnect wires at no cost to the owners.
