What can go wrong

Fasteners on the steering rack and the inboard engine mounting may not have been tightened correctly. In the event that any fasteners come completely undone while the car is being driven the driver could lose control of the vehicle.

The fix

Recall affected vehicles check the fasteners for correct torque and tighten where necessary.

Models and build dates

As listed in the DVSA recall file. DVSA lists the same vehicle number on each line: 369. It may be a figure per line or for the whole recall.
Model	Built	Vehicles
Suzuki Swift	2 August 2000 to 15 August 2000	369
Suzuki (model not named in the DVSA file)	2 August 2000 to 15 August 2000	369

Is a specific car affected? A recall lists models and build dates, not individual vehicles, so these pages cannot tell you whether one car is included. Enter the registration on the DVSA vehicle recall checker on GOV.UK, or give the vehicle identification number (VIN) to the manufacturer or one of its dealers. Buying used? Ask the seller for proof that any recall work was done.
