What is the reason behind door handles o r side mirrors breaking easily in the Swift?

In Pakistani markets, many users report that Swift’s side mirrors o r door handles break easily with minor force o r even regular use. Are these parts made from low-grade material, and are better-quality replacements available?

This is a frequent issue in Pakistan, where Suzuki often uses brittle plastic components to reduce manufacturing costs. These parts are not designed for rough handling o r high temperatures, and:

Plastic fatigue causes cracks over time.

Side mirrors get damaged in narrow streets o r during manual folding.

Door handles break due to repeated rough pulling, especially if frozen o r jammed.

Solutions:

Replace broken parts with better-quality aftermarket alternatives some Japanese versions use more durable material.

Use caution when opening doors o r folding mirrors.

Apply lubricant to door latches and hinges to reduce stress on handles.
