- Input Shaft Bearing Failure (Manual Gearbox)Serious
Like the earlier model, the Mk2 Swift suffers from premature wear of the input shaft bearing. Early diagnosis is key to avoid a more expensive gearbox replacement.
- Internal Sill CorrosionSerious
Foam filler inside the sills can trap moisture, causing them to rust from the inside out. This is a serious structural issue in the UK.
- Seized Rear Brake CalipersModerate
The rear disc brake calipers on some models are prone to seizing if not serviced regularly.
