An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars (Suzuki Escudo) - Repair. Electrical equipment (lead-acid battery) defect. ■ Defective component (part name): Electrical equipment (lead-acid battery). ■ Condition and cause of the structure, equipment, or performance deemed noncompliant with standards: Due to improper current control settings during manufacture for the welds connecting cells inside the lead-acid battery, the high current from restarting the engine when switching from motor-powered driving to engine-powered driving may cause these welds to heat up and break. This may interrupt electrical continuity inside the battery. In the worst case, the engine may fail to restart when switching from motor-powered driving to engine-powered driving, resulting in loss of propulsion and inability to drive. Published 2026-04-23.
What to do now
(Recall notification number)5807 ■ Corrective measures: Check the serial number of the lead-acid battery in all vehicles and replace any affected battery with an improved unit.
