Suzuki Swift recalled for parking brake fix
Suzuki Australia is recalling 1454 vehicles from its current-generation ‘AZH414’ Swift and ‘416’ Swift Sport hatchback lines, introduced globally in 2010.
The recall has been announced over concerns that a brake fluid leak could lead to brake failure.
The Japanese manufacturer reports that the inner diameter of the cylinder that wraps around the parking brake may be too wide and as a result not sealing inside the caliper.
Potentially, brake fluid could leak, which in turn could lead to the brakes becoming inoperative. This poses a significant hazard to the driver and other road users.
Owners of affected Swifts will be contacted directly by Suzuki Australia and will be asked to present their vehicle to a local Suzuki dealer so that replacement parts can be fitted.
