Safety recall on my HT81S (Swift Sport)

Due to the nature of car manufacturing and human error, design error or whatever we call it. There has been some recall made to my lovely ht81s, even tho some may seems a little small and uninteresting but it is important to the safety of driver and occupant of the vehicle.

Suzuki itself have issue out 4 safety recall on my HT81S model and some relate to certain batch of production so herewith I list down all 4. (All in Japanese, use a translator to read about it)

Same recall as the 1st, but for different batch number.

Please check your vehicle for the safety recall above.

Unfortunately mine fall under 2 off them and I manage to settle 1 and the other recall I got some problem of getting contacts at suzuki for the parts and instruction to repair.
My car is bought not from the authorized dealer in here and are not subject to warranties and whatsoever things from them.
A bit sad but I do enjoy the car.....

I will try to post other related safety recall that I can dig off in the internet next time.

Here is the instruction for changing the circlip that I got :-
