Summary:
 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. |
Consequence:
ON
THE AN400 AND AN650 MODELS, FAILURE OF THE SWITCHES WILL PREVENT THE
SCOOTERS FROM STARTING. ON ALL OF THE AFFECTED MODELS, FAILURE OF THE
BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH(ES) MAY CAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN
A SCOOTER OR MOTORCYCLE IS BRAKING, THEREBY INCREASING THE RISK OF A
CRASH WITH A TRAILING VEHICLE. |
Remedy:
SUZUKI
WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND SUZUKI DISTRIBUTORS WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE
LIGHT ACTUATING SWITCH, FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED
TO BEGIN ON OR ABOUT FEBRUARY 13, 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT SUZUKI AT
1-714-996-7040. |
