3 known faults

1.2 Dualjet 90

  1. From 37,000 km

    Clutch wear and manual gearbox

    Severity 2/3 · Costly

    The clutch is the most frequently cited point to watch in Ignis II owner accounts: judder, average progressiveness and sometimes early wear (replacements reported at around 37,000 and 90,000 km). One owner blames the clutch cable retaining bracket; crunching from the manual gearbox is also reported. Autocar states that a crunch in first or reverse often comes from a slack cable or a worn bracket. These are isolated accounts, not statistics.

  2. Battery charging and starter-generator belt (2018 recalls)

    Manufacturer recall

    Two British recalls in March 2018 concern Ignis cars from the first months of production (August 2016 to August 2017): software in the engine ECU could cut off the battery charging, and the starter-generator belt (ISG, cars built from September 2016 to February 2017) could break. In the worst case, the engine stalls and will not restart. The remedies are free (reprogramming, belt replacement). These recalls are documented in the UK: have the VIN checked at a Suzuki France dealer.

    Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).

  2. Possible fuel tank vent leak (2020 recall)

    Manufacturer recall

    On Ignis cars built in 2020, the tank vent pipe may not have been welded properly: if the tank is overfilled, fuel can leak and, near a source of ignition, cause a fire. The remedy is free replacement of the tank. Production dates vary depending on the source (July to October or November 2020): check the VIN at a dealer.
