A recall does not mean your car is affected. Check the market, build date and VIN with the manufacturer.
- Engine / equipment
- Ambient temperature sensor and on-board diagnostics (OBD): Suzuki SX4 S-Cross and Vitara
- Period mentioned
- 2015–2016 (built from 19/1/2015 to 26/9/2016; only the VINs in the recall)
- Symptoms
- Nothing is noticed: if the sensor fails, the engine warning light does not come on.
- Possible cause described
- According to the EU alert A12/0218/17 (Safety Gate, notified by Hungary), the ambient temperature sensor can fail without the engine control unit detecting it, so the engine warning light (MIL) does not come on; these systems monitor the exhaust and pollution control devices, and the car does not comply with the on-board diagnostics (OBD) regulation.
- Check for the garage
- 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.
