Suzuki Recalls Splash, Swift and SX4 in Germany, Nissan Tiida in China for Safety Fixes

Suzuki has issued a recall for 826 units of its Splash, Swift and SX4 models in Germany after identifying a potential fault with the steering column. Nissan has separately announced a recall for more than 8,800 Tiida models in China, citing a risk of fuel leakage linked to the fuel pressure sensor.

Suzuki recall: Steering column connection risk

Suzuki’s recall covers the Splash, Swift and SX4 models produced between 2011 and 2012 at the Esztergom plant in Hungary. The manufacturer flagged that the steering column may not be properly connected to the steering gear. While Suzuki says this does not pose an immediate danger to occupants, the company is recalling the cars as a precaution. There have been no reports of crashes or injuries related to the defect.

Owners of affected vehicles in Germany will be contacted by Suzuki. The recall involves an inspection at authorised dealers, with any necessary repairs to be carried out free of charge. The campaign is expected to start shortly, with dealers prepared to check the steering assembly and secure the connection as required.

Nissan Tiida recall in China: Fuel sensor issue

Nissan’s recall in China affects Tiida models produced by Dongfeng Motor. The company identified that the fuel pressure sensor may lose contact with the fuel rail, which could lead to fuel leaks over time. This issue was flagged under China’s Administrative Regulations on Recalls of Defective Automobile Products.

More than 8,800 units are involved in the Nissan recall. Dealers will inspect the fuel pressure sensors and repair or replace components as needed at no cost to owners. Nissan has not reported any accidents or injuries linked to this fault, but the risk of fuel leakage prompted the proactive recall.
