Raid on the three largest offices of Suzuki

In total, the company managed to install these engines on about 22 thousand Suzuki cars. of the SX4 and Vitara models produced in Hungary.
It is noteworthy that the motors for the cars were supplied by Stellantis, and the electronic components for them were shipped by Marelli. Suzuki representatives have agreed to cooperate with the investigation into this case.
