2020 Suzuki Jimny and Ignis recalled over multiple faults

Suzuki Australia is recalling more than 200 Jimny and Ignis models over multiple problems identified with the cars.

The Japanese marque says 16 2020 Jimny A6G415s sold between September 1, 2020, and March 1, 2021, are affected by a fault which involves the bond primer being applied to the windshield glass and the rear door window glass incorrectly.

As the bond primer may not adhere to the glass, water could leak into the cabin and cause the windscreen or rear windows to detach – increasing the risk of serious injury or death of other road users.

Suzuki is contacting affected owners by direct mail, but they should also contact their nearest Suzuki dealer to arrange for the relevant glass panels to be removed and reinstalled.

2020 Suzuki Ignis

Additionally, the carmaker is recalling 227 2020 Ignis ATK 412s sold between July 1, 2020 and October 30, 2020 because the fuel tank breather pipe on the vehicles may have been wrongly moulded to the top of the tank.

If the pipe becomes detached through normal vibrations, in the presence of an ignition source, it could catch fire.

Lists of VINs for the affected cars are available here and here.

Again, Suzuki is contacting affected owners by direct mail, but they should also contact their nearest Suzuki dealer to arrange for a free inspection and repair of the vehicle.
