Rust and corrosion are common problems for Suzuki Khyber owners in Pakistan due to the country’s humid and coastal climate, along with the use of low-quality materials in older vehicles. The rust typically forms around the wheel arches, undercarriage, and door panels, often exacerbated by exposure to rain and salty air.

Preventive Measures:

Regular washing: Keep the vehicle clean, especially after exposure to rain, dust, o r salty conditions, to remove corrosive elements.

Rustproofing treatments: Apply a good rustproofing treatment to the undercarriage and other exposed metal parts. Many car service centers offer this service.

Check seals and gaskets: Ensure that rubber seals around doors and windows are intact to prevent moisture from getting inside and causing rust.

Touch-ups: Regularly inspect the car for small chips and scratches in the paint and apply touch-up paint to prevent rust formation.
