Suzuki: Celerio brake failure forces recalls in four countries

[Farang99]

"During the first full-force braking test all stopping power was immediately lost upon application of the brakes.

"The brake pedal became stuck in the fully depressed position and had no effect on the Suzuki's speed. No braking effort could be exerted by forcing the pedal up and reapplying it."

The combined use of the handbrake and moving down through the gears brought the car to a safe stop.

The cars affected were made at Suzuki's Rayang plant, in Thailand. Celerios are also produced at the Maruti Suzuki plant in India, but cars made here are not affected by the recall.

More positive for us in Thailand:

"This safety recall relates to retraction of the brake pedal and affects right hand drive vehicles for UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. It does not affect left hand drive vehicles or other right hand drive markets."

I wouldn't read too much into that - highly likely ASEAN markets just weren't available/able to comment.
