A recall does not mean your car is affected. Check the market, build date and VIN with the manufacturer.
- Engine / equipment
- Integrated starter generator (ISG) belt, which also drives the water pump: Suzuki Swift RZ and Ignis mild hybrid (SHVS)
- Period mentioned
- 2016–2017 (only the VINs in the recall)
- Symptoms
- The charging warning light comes on and then the coolant temperature light, because the water pump stops working; at worst the engine stalls and will not restart.
- Possible cause described
- According to the UK DVSA (R/2018/078) and the EU alert A12/0457/18 (Safety Gate), the integrated starter generator (ISG) belt lacks strength and can break; the water pump stops working with it. The fix is a new belt.
- Check for the garage
- If the charging and temperature lights come on, stop the engine somewhere safe as soon as you can and do not drive on: without the water pump the engine overheats. Ask a Suzuki dealer, with the VIN, whether the recall is outstanding on your car.
- Cost cited in the source
- No verified estimate; check whether the free recall remedy remains outstanding for the VIN.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.
