Tank assembly (fuel system)
On certain california-specification model motorcycles, repeated stress from vibration can cause a crack to form in the area where the liquid/vapor separator bracket is welded inside the fuel tank. This can allow fuel leakage to occur.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the fuel tank free of charge. The recall began on february 3, 2006. Customers may contact american suzuki at 714-572-1490.
-
Engine (engine and engine cooling)
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The motorcycle crankcase design allows the creation of air pockets near the oil pump inlet due to sloshing of the oil in the crankcase. If the oil pump draws air, inadequate lubrication to the engine occurs, causing severe engine damage and resulting in engine failure.
Remedy: Dealers will install an oil plate to prevent the creation of air pockets in the area of the oil pump inlet.
Model years: 2000
