Recalls: Suzuki HT Ignis

In August 2005, a recall was issued for Suzuki HT Ignis Sport variants due to the left front driveshaft potentially detaching from the transmission during certain high speed driving conditions; this would result in a loss of driving force to the wheels (PRA 2005/7975).
In December 2006, a recall was issued for Suzuki HT Ignis models manufactured from March 2003 to October 2004. For these vehicles, improper folding of the front passenger airbag may have created a gap between the internal folded airbag and bag holder (PRA 2006/8952).
In April 2015, a recall was issued for Suzuki Ignis vehicles because contact grease used for lubrication within the vehicle ignition switch may carbonise with frequent usage; carbonisation of the grease may produce smoke from the ignition switch and pose a potential fire hazard (PRA 2015/14661).
