Defect description

Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 AN400, AN400A, DL1000, GSX1300R, 2008-2009 GSF1250S and GSF1250SA, 2008 GSX1300BK and GSX1300BKA, 2008-2010 GSX650F, GSX-R600, GSX-R750, VLR1800, VLR1800T, and 2009-2010 SFV650 and VZ1500 motorcycles.

Reported February 3, 2012 · AMERICAN SUZUKI MOTOR CORP.

Potentially affected: 1,396 vehicles

Manufacturer campaign 2A26/2A27 · Owners notified February 13, 2012 · Vehicles built August 31, 2011 – December 17, 2011 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

SUZUKI IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2012 AN400, AN650, AND DL650 SCOOTERS AND MOTORCYCLES MANUFACTURED PRIOR TO DECEMBER 17, 2011, BECAUSE THE LEVER-MOUNTED BRAKE LIGHT ACTUATING SWITCH(ES) MAY FAIL.

Manufacturer remedy

SUZUKI WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND SUZUKI DISTRIBUTORS WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE LIGHT ACTUATING SWITCH, FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 13, 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT SUZUKI AT 1-714-996-7040.

GOT MY SECOND SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL AND WENT TO THE SUZUKI DEALER TODAY ON 7-12-16 AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE 2 MONTHS OR SO BEFORE THEY CAN PREFORM THE RECALL. WHEN I GOT THE FIRST NOTICE IT WAS STILL WINTER TIME SO DID NOT GO TO THE DEALER FOR IT. WHAT HAPPENS IF I DRIVE THE SCOOTER ? WILL IT CATCH ON FIRE ? QUESTIONS DEALER COULD NOT ANSWER. I ASK WHY RECALL WILL TAKE SO LONG AND DEALER TOLD ME "YOU ARE NOT MY ONLY CUSTOMER" VERY DISAPPOINTED ON HOW THEY ARE HANDLING THIS.

ODI #10556524

Incident: September 1, 2013 · Filed: December 18, 2013

SINCE BRAND NEW, THE SPEEDOMETER HAS A 8-10% ERROR AT HIGHWAY SPEED VERIFIED BY GPS. SUZUKI CLAIMS THIS IS NORMAL AND WITHIN THEIR STANDARDS. THE ODOMETER DOES READ THE CORRECT MILEAGE, SO THIS IS A DEFECT THAT THEY ENGINEERED INTO THE BIKE, AND REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND REPAIR. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON TO ALL 400 AND 650 SUZUKI BERGMANS. OUR STATE OF WISCONSIN EVEN HAS A LAW THAT PROHIBITS DEFECTIVE SPEEDOMETERS SO SUZUKI IS IN VIOLATION OF STATE OF WISCONSIN STATUTE. *TR
