Recalls for 2004 Suzuki An400

DEFECT #1 - ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH

Posted on: 2005-08-29
Description
On certain scooters, if the ignition switch is not fully turned from the 'off' to the 'on' position, there may be unstable contact between the ignition switch contacts.  This can cause arcing in the ignition switch.

Consequence
Heat from the arcing can melt the internal switch base plate.  If the scooter is ridden in this condition, the ignition switch may fail.  If this happens, the engine will stall, the lights will go out, and the operator may be unable to restart the scooter.  This could result in a crash.

Corrective Action
Dealers will replace the ignition switch terminal case assembly free of charge.  The recall began on september 7, 2005.  Owners may contact suzuki at 1-800-255-2550.
