Concern

Engine may stall and/or fail to start

Defect, as DVSA words it

The regulator/rectifier circuit board may have absorbed moisture during storage under high humidity conditions which reduced the strength of the adhesive used to fix the circuit board to the outer casing. Due to the insufficient adhesion the heat generated can cause the circuit board to deform and lift away from the case. This condition causes excessive heat and uncontrolled electric current output which can result in the poor charging to the battery. This can cause the battery to discharge and lead to engine stalling and/or a no-start condition.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace the regulator/rectifier.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference, because the reference DVSA lists is too short to match safely. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.

Suzuki GB Plc elsewhere in this register

Suzuki GB Plc is named on 71 notices in the copy of the DVSA’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same concern: ENGINE MAY STALL AND/OR FAIL TO START

2 notices in this register name ENGINE MAY STALL AND/OR FAIL TO START. A defect that keeps returning under one heading is worth reading as a group rather than one notice at a time.

Reading this against the source

This page is what the DVSA published in its file of vehicle recalls, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /uk-recalls, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
