These are issues documented for the Suzuki Fronx in general - things to check for, not a diagnosis of any particular car. Whether a specific car has one depends on its age, mileage, service history and how it was used.

2025 ANCAP One-Star Rating Plus a Seatbelt Retractor Recall (Australia)

Safety Equipment / Structural Crash Performance (primary, from-new characteristic); Seatbelt Retractor Recall (secondary, real regulatory event) · severity: High for safety-conscious buyers · confidence: 58/100 · 3 cited sources
Applies to: 1.5L K15B naturally aspirated petrol, 77kW/138Nm, 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic -… - not every engine this model has been sold with
ⓘ Not yet individually classified

Symptoms to watch for

  • No driving symptom for the ANCAP finding - it is a laboratory crash-test result, not a perceivable defect
  • Recall symptom (if the defect is present and unaddressed): in a crash or hard-braking event, the rear-left seatbelt may release more length than intended, reducing occupant restraint - not detectable in normal driving
  • Suzuki Australia's own interim advice for affected VINs was to stop using the rear seats entirely until remedied

What To Check

Neither finding is detectable on a normal test drive. The recall is a VIN/build-date matter requiring a direct check with Suzuki SA. The ANCAP rating is a laboratory crash-test result - confirm the exact airbag count and ESC fitment against the specific vehicle's spec sheet rather than assuming from trim name alone.
