Exiting the car business, the United States Suzuki branch said the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing was done to allow a smooth transition for setting up service networks for existing Suzuki vehicles. Suzuki is assuring owners of their products that warranties will remained honoured. However, the ability to find parts for Suzuki vehicles could be difficult heading into the future. Another long-term effect likely to plague Suzuki automobiles in the United States will be resale value. Unlike the United States entity of Suzuki that has filed for bankruptcy in order to wind down their automotive sales as well as restructure their remaining operations, other North American subsidiaries of the Japanese corporation in Canada and Mexico will be unaffected.
