Suzuki have acknowledged an issue with some Gen 4 (2019) Jimnys having a knock in the steering.

This occurs when pulling away with the steering turned.

Only supposed to affect certain VIN numbers but has also been found on Jimnys outside of the number range.

Replacement part available through dealer

Have they said what is actually causing it or are they just offering a recall/rectification?

I have not seen the bulletin. I heard it described as the Steering UJ which is replaced

Hi,

My Jimny was one of them. May I know where did you get the source from? Do you have any more details of the bulletin? I've been searching for it since December 2018. My dealer reported it in January. I'm still waiting for the parts.

Thank you
