Filing in context
The Computer (Engine) is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 49 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 27 Suzuki notifications from 2018 in this archive. For scale, 548 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 2 years and 9 months.
Issue
An error in the engine control computer program allows carbon deposits to accumulate in the combustion chamber. Pieces of that carbon may break loose and become lodged between the exhaust or intake valve and its seat. This causes insufficient compression, which may result in engine stall just before the vehicle stops or difficulty starting the engine.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the engine control computer with a corrected unit and inject engine detergent into the fuel tank.
