Summary: Vehicle description: motorcycles. The hose connecting the fuel pump to the fuel filer can come off causing a lcak of fuel pressure ot the fuel injection system. This can prevent the motorcycle from starting or can cause the engine to stall.
Consequence: Engine stalling while riding could disturb the driver's ability to control the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the original rubber fuel hose with a combination metal and rubber fuel pipe set which will eliminate the possibility of a fuel hose disconnecting from the fuel pump.
Notes: Owner notification is expected to begin November 16, 1998. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Suzuki at 1-800-255-2550. Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

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.
