Suzuki is recalling nearly 26,000 midsize cars in the U.S. because the running light modules can overheat and cause a fire. The recall covers the Verona from the 2004-06 model years. It's an expansion of an earlier Forenza and Reno recall.

The cars were made by General Motors in Korea. Suzuki says in documents filed Tuesday that a transistor in the instrument panel can overheat and melt the module, which could cause a fire. Suzuki says there were no fires reported in Verona. Dealers will replace the modules for free.

American Suzuki Motor Corp. filed for bankruptcy in November 2012 and stopped selling in the U.S.
