Every Suzuki Alto recall
Newest first. The concern is the part or system affected, the defect is what can go wrong, and the remedy is what the manufacturer does to put it right.

BRAKE LIGHTS MAY FAIL
R/2010/035, launched 6 April 2010, 898 vehicles affected across the models it covers

What to do next
If you own a Suzuki Alto, check its registration on GOV.UK and ask a Suzuki dealer whether any recall work is outstanding. If you are buying one, ask the seller for proof the work was done, and run a Motoring Insider history check for finance, write-offs and the MOT history.
