Soon after the news of the Volkswagen “dieselgate” scandal broke, carmaker after carmaker became implicated in the growing allegations of emissions fraud. Volkswagen was only the first of many well-known manufacturers to be accused not only of breaching emissions regulations, but also of deliberately cheating testing by means of illegal defeat device technology allegedly installed in their diesel vehicles. Having been subjected to similar allegations, Suzuki is also under suspicion, and we are investigating the carmaker as part of our Suzuki emissions compensation action.
As pioneers of emissions litigation, we were one of the first firms in England and Wales to formally take on diesel emissions claims against Volkswagen, and we were subsequently appointed to the Steering Committee responsible for the overall conduct of the VW Group Litigation Order (GLO). Using our unique expertise in emissions claims, we aim to ensure that all guilty carmakers are held to account, and that as many affected owners as possible can access the compensation that they deserve.

The allegations against Suzuki
Soon after Volkswagen was accused of cheating emissions tests in 2015, Suzuki reportedly admitted to finding “discrepancies” in terms of its testing of emissions and fuel data, but denied outright that it had engaged in any cheating. However, following mounting scrutiny, Dutch prosecutors reportedly suggested that they were investigating Suzuki over potentially fraudulent emissions software.
The decision was taken after Dutch regulators are understood to have found that the Suzuki Vitara may have been producing excessive quantities of emissions when tested on the road. As yet, the allegations have not been proven in court, and Suzuki maintains its defence that it has never engaged in emissions cheating.
Suzuki emission compensation claims – who could be eligible?
We are currently investigating the possibility of a Suzuki emissions compensation group action for the owners who may have been affected by alleged emissions irregularities. In terms of claimants’ eligibility, we are looking to take on those who purchased diesel vehicles manufactured between 2007 to 2020, with a variety of models included. To check your eligibility, you can go directly to our online form here.
The primary basis for bringing claims will likely be the alleged deceit that Suzuki might have engaged in. Suzuki diesel owners have purchased their cars with the belief that they were compliant with emissions legislation. However, if allegations are proven to be true, they may have been misled, and this could entitle them to thousands of pounds in Suzuki emissions compensation.
