A recall does not mean your car is affected. Check the market, build date and VIN with the manufacturer.
- Engine / equipment
- Rear axle fixing bolts: Suzuki Vitara, SX4 S-Cross and Swift
- Period mentioned
- 2015 (built from 29/10/2015 to 17/12/2015; only the VINs in the recall)
- Symptoms
- The sources describe no early symptoms. If a bolt loosens, comes out or breaks, the car may become impossible to drive.
- Possible cause described
- According to the UK DVSA (R/2016/041) and the EU alert A12/0399/16 (Safety Gate), some rear axle bolts without the friction-adjusting coating were mixed in; they can loosen, come off or break. The fix is new rear axle bolts.
- Check for the garage
- If you hear knocks at the rear or the back of the car feels odd, 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.
