Suzuki Responds to Fronx ANCAP SafetyAssessment Findings

Suzuki Motor Corporation acknowledges the recent ANCAP assessment of the 2025 Fronx Hybrid and
has taken decisive action, including the implementation of a thorough investigation. Customer safety is
non-negotiable and remains Suzuki’s highest priority across Australia and New Zealand.


As the investigation continues, Suzuki has identified a VIN range of potentially affected vehicles for which
a voluntary safety recall is being announced.


It appears that the functionality of the rear seat belt retractor mechanism may not perform as designed
and as a potential consequence excessive belt length may release in the event of collision. This may
result in injury.


Suzuki New Zealand is contacting all Fronx customers and advising whether their vehicle is affected or
not. Customers with affected vehicles are requested to immediately cease using the rear seats.


Suzuki Motor Corporation is committed to transparency and safety of Suzuki owners and drivers
throughout Australia and New Zealand and are taking the necessary steps to ensure all affected vehicles
are addressed as soon as possible.
