2017-19 Suzuki Mk.7 Swift: pre-tensioner and airbags may deploy on door closure

In June 2019, recall campaign SSR19 was issued for Suzuki Mk.7 Swift vehicles that were available for sale in Australia from 1 March 2017 to 10 June 2019. Due to incorrect software in the airbag controller (SDM), the side airbags, curtain airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioner may be inadvertently deployed when the rear door was slammed shut. The airbag deployment posed a risk of injury to vehicle occupants. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17607 and PRA 2019/17610.

2017-21 Suzuki A2L310 Swift and A2L414 Swift Sport: loss of braking assistance

In Septemeber 2022, recall campaign SSR28 was issued for 2017-21 Suzuki A2L310 Swift and A2L414 Swift Sport vehicles. Due to a manufacturing defect, the valve between the engine and the vacuum assist brake booster may swell under certain conditions. As a result, power braking assistance may be lost and increased brake pedal effort may be required to reduce vehicle speed and bring the vehicle to rest. Although the brake system would remain functional, this condition increased the risk of a collision and therefore injury to vehicle occupants and other road users. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005514 and, for Queensland vehicles, REC-005515.
