Airbag recall: unintended deployment
Manufacturer recallFaulty airbag controller software can deploy the side airbags, curtain airbags and pretensioners when a rear door is slammed, with a risk of injury. It affects Swifts built between February 2017 and February 2019 according to the British recall; the fix is a software update at a Suzuki dealer, to be checked using the VIN.
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).
