Not that you often have with Suzuki’s smallest above that speed, but the Japanese have a big problem with the braking system.

Two British autobladen themselves for the change is relevant is made by the Suzuki Celerio had through the mangle. On the Millbrook Proving Ground, one of the greatest automotive test facilities in Europe, got the 3,6-meter-long city car a thorough test, which is also an emergency stop from 80 Mph (129 km/h) was carried out. What followed can by AutoCar and What Car? only be described as a total brake failure.

No brake pressure

When fully stomping on the brake at 129 km/h dropped the pedal of the Celerio fully to the bottom. There was no pressure on the brake system. Also by the pedal up to pick up (with skilful footwork, we assume) and ‘m again in the stairs was no deceleration caused. The test pilots were the Celerio only to stop by on the engine braking and the handbrake. So is your test day of the Celerio, however, in one fell swoop is exciting, though.

Suzuki has immediately everything has been done to investigate the case. There are engineers to the UK flown to the tests and the testauto’s to investigate, and the sale of right-hand drive Celerio’s is immediately discontinued. Dealers have a sales ban obtained, may not even testritjes more to run, and customers who already own a Celerio with the steering wheel on the right-hand side have received have been informed about the problem. With the explicit request to keep the car until further order, not more to use.

No panic in the Netherlands

I learned that it is merely the right-hand Celerio’s where the problems have occurred. Dutch Celerio-riders do not need to fear for remweigering and of a recall and there is no evidence, according to the importer.
