1989 SUZUKI SWIFT Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1989 Suzuki Swift has two recalls, both involving the hood latch system, where a failure can allow the hood to fly up while driving and block the driver's forward view. In one case, cracks can develop in the inner hood panel and prevent the hood striker from fully engaging the latch when the hood is closed. In the other, which affects vehicles originally sold in certain Canadian provinces, the secondary hood latch can corrode and seize, leaving only the primary latch as the barrier against the hood opening at speed. Both conditions carry the same risk: the hood lifting unexpectedly while the vehicle is moving.
