Is it common for Suzuki Wagon R starter motors to fail prematurely in Pakistan?

I’ve heard from friends and mechanics that Suzuki Wagon Rs in Pakistan often face early starter motor failures. Is this true? What causes starter motors to fail sooner than expected in Pakistani driving and weather conditions? Are there ways to extend the starter motor’s lifespan?

Yes, premature starter motor failure is fairly common in Suzuki Wagon Rs in Pakistan due to several reasons:

Harsh weather conditions: High temperatures lead to faster wear and heat-related damage.

Frequent short trips: Starters get heat-soaked and don’t cool properly.

Poor maintenance: Corroded terminals and weak batteries increase stress on the starter.

Low-quality aftermarket parts: Many replacement starters lack durability.

Electrical system issues: Voltage s o r poor wiring cause starter overloading.

To extend life, keep battery terminals clean, ensure good wiring, avoid excessive cranking, and use quality starter motors and batteries.
