What is this? This notice is about some Suzuki cars made in France. A small part inside the brake system may not work right.

What's happening? The brake booster may not give enough help when you press the pedal. You might have to push very hard to stop.

Does this affect me? If you own or drive a Suzuki Swift, Swift Sports, Baleno, Vitara, or S-Cross in France, check if this applies to your car.

What should I do? Ask your Suzuki dealer or a mechanic to check the brake system. Do not ignore it—ask your mechanic or Suzuki right away.
