Suzuki Swifts recalled for defect

Suzuki said that an inadequate connection on the rubber fuel filler hose could cause petrol to leak.

The cars were produced between September 2010 and last month, with 55,146 shipped to the domestic market and 53,801 others that were exported to countries including to Australia, Mexico, and Europe.

Suzuki said that an inadequate connection on the rubber fuel filler hose could cause petrol to leak. Four cases of such leakage have been reported in Japan, but they did not lead to any accidents, the statement revealed.

"There have been no reports of such defects abroad,'' the spokesman added. "About the exported cars, we will deal with them in keeping with local procedures of the countries concerned.''

In March, Suzuki recalled about 93,000 Swifts, including 11,000 in Australia, to repair the fuel filling system.
