Summary: On certain motorcycles, stress around the right front fuel tank mounting point can cause hairline fatigue cracks to form. This can result in a fuel leak.
Consequence: In the presence of an ignition source, a fuel leak can result in a fire.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the fuel tank and install improved cushions that mount and support the fuel tank. Any fuel tanks that are found to have a crack will be replaced. If a tank is found to have a crack and a replacement tank is not available, fuel tank sealant will be applied to the tank as an interim repair. When the replacement tank becomes available, the owner will be contacted and a replacement tank will be installed. The recall began on February 3, 2006. Owners may contact Suzuki at 1-714-572-1490.

Has your Suzuki been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Suzuki dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
