A recall does not mean your car is affected. Check the market, build date and VIN with the manufacturer.
- Engine / equipment
- Rear brake calipers: Suzuki Swift FZ and Swift Sport
- Period mentioned
- 2014–2015 (built from 1/9/2014 to 22/12/2015; only the VINs in the recall)
- Symptoms
- The brake fluid level warning light comes on (before the reservoir empties) and braking force can suddenly drop.
- Possible cause described
- According to the UK DVSA (R/2016/106), the rear calipers may not have been made to design specifications and their seals may let brake fluid leak, reducing braking efficiency; the level warning light comes on before the reservoir is empty. The EU alert A12/0874/16 (Safety Gate) describes it as a possible sudden drop in brake force. The fix is new rear calipers.
- Check for the garage
- If the brake fluid warning light comes on or you see stains near the rear wheels, do not drive on. 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.
