2016-18 Suzuki Ignis: ISOFIX child restraint information
In November 2019, recall campaign SSR20 was issued for Suzuki Ignis vehicles that were available for sale in Australia from 30 March 2016 to 1 June 2018. These vehicles were supplied with incorrect information in the Owner Manual in regards to the installation of ISOFIX child restraints. Owners may incorrectly install the ISOFIX child restraint system and this posed a risk of injury to the child in the event of a collision. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17948 (QLD) and/or PRA 2019/17945 (national).

Suzuki MF Ignis: rear suspension bottoms out
For the Suzuki MF Ignis, there have been reports of the rear shock absorbers bottoming out (i.e. fully compressing) when the vehicle is laden and driven over bumps – this adversely affects ride quality and handling.
For Suzuki Ignis Allgrip (all-wheel drive models), it is understood that stiffer front and rear shock absorbers and different bump stops were introduced into production in late 2017. For UK-delivered vehicles, these upgrades could be retrofitted for older models. For front wheel drive models, however, no change appears to have been made.
