DEFECT #1 - FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY


Posted on: 2006-01-31
Description
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.

Corrective Action
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.
