Could it be related to Takata airbags?
haha. Lousy Suzuki.
Honda is the best. Especially city. Problem free
Honda unfortunately is not the best. Many problems especially the ckd models from Melaka. Cheapskate quality unlike CBU from Japan.
Surprise only 12 comments?? Where did these kiasus that kaki kencing and tounge spinner go???? They did even bother when non-proton cars got problem.
unlike cbu from japan? u should read about numbers of city hybrid recall in japan.
I’m guessing you didn’t hear about people dying in Honda vehicles from exploding airbags/shrapnel to the face, huh?
hope suzuki malaysia wake up from their dream to sell more cars here with more competitive price and specs.
suzuki swift sport is rather good value….but the market isnt really into performance cars lately
yep..but not for swift 1.4. lack of safety features.
It would be nice if we were to adopt the same reporting system as in the US for fault reporting by automobile manufacturers.
Not sure if the article is reporting word for word on the recall procedure, but with no detailed information on the nature of the problem (beyond just steering wheel…) or its severity how are customers/public supposed to make of this?
I hope Mazda Malaysia isn’t playing cloak and dagger just to avoid any potential lawsuit in case of manufacturing defects that could possibly or have lead to accidents or injuries…(like the incident prior to the recent GM recall in US)
mazda?
sorry, typo….Suzuki… but still the gist is the same… doing a recall without providing adequate information especially the severity of the issue….
On another note BMW f30 also has steering rack knocking sound issues. This is very common and I’m surprised they have not announced a recall.
I think it’s not regarding airbag problem. In Thailand there is a big problem about steering column going on, but it has been no recall what so ever. The problem is when you drive you will hear some noise under your steering wheel on various road conditions. It’s really hot issue among Thailand swift 1.2 users that make Suzuki sales drops so far.
The Swift is still a great little car, so fun to drive. I want one for the wife.
does this affect the new suzuki swift sport?
Matrix, I have both Honda and Suzuki Swift and I begged to differ. Superb car in Ride and Handling, and value for money the Swift is.
SSS, Swift Sport is 1.6L. Recalled one is for 1.4 – both GL and GLX.
Oh my, my sister’s car is one of those affected, actually has been hearing sort of not smooth steering turn at the boss sterring area… That must be the culprit.
I hv just booked the swift 1.4 …on the 4th of Feb..and the next day I read about the recall. I need some advice. Should I go for another choice of car.
Yes you should proceed, the recall is for previous batch and yours has been rectify. To clear up everything you can ask SC to get a guaranty that your batch is clear from problem.
