Suzuki AN400 problems & recalls

Problem: Suzuki motor usa, llc (suzuki) is recalling certain 2023-2025 burgman 400 (an400am3-m5) scooters. the fuel supply hose assembly may contact the fuel vapor hose assembly, causing the fuel supply hose to become damaged and leak fuel.

Risk: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of fire.

Fix: Owners are advised that if they must ride the scooter before the safety recall repair has been completed, they should check the scooter for fuel leakage and proper operation as outlined in the "inspection before riding" checklist in the owner's manual. dealers will replace the fuel supply hose assembly and fuel vapor hose assembly with new parts, free of charge. owner notification letters were m

Problem: Suzuki motor of america, inc. (suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 an400, an400a, dl1000, gsx1300r, 2008-2009 gsf1250s and gsf1250sa, 2008 gsx1300bk and gsx1300bka, 2008-2010 gsx650f, gsx-r600, gsx-r750, vlr1800, vlr1800t, and 2009-2010 sfv650 and vz1500 motorcycles. due to a problem with the circuit board for the regulator/rectifier power module, the motorcycle may not sufficiently charge the battery and the motorcycle may stall.

Risk: If the engine stalls while riding, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

Fix: Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the regulator/rectifier, free of charge. the recall is expected to begin march 4, 2016. owners may contact suzuki customer service at 1-800-444-5077. suzuki's number for this recall is 2a56 to 2a64.

Problem: 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.

Risk: 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.

Fix: Suzuki will notify owners, and suzuki distributors will replace the brake light actuating switch, free of charge. the safety recall began on february 13, 2011. owners may contact suzuki at 1-714-996-7040.

Problem: Suzuki is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2010 motorcycles manufactured from july 2007 through september 2009, equipped with regulator/rectifier assemblies, suzuki part numbers 32800-41f11, 32800-15h10, 32800-05h11, 32800-41g10, 32800-15h00, 32800-18h00, 32800-05g10, 32800-10g10, 32800-05h20, or 32800-06g01. some regulator/rectifier assemblies were produced with insufficient adhesion between the power module (circuit board) and the rectifier case that contains a heat sink to dissipate heat. due to insufficient adhesion, heat generated on the power module circuit board can cause the circuit board to deform, and lift of the case.

Risk: This condition causes excessive heat on the circuit board and uncontrolled electric current output, which can result in insufficient charging current being provided to the motorcycle battery. this can cause discharge of the battery and can lead to engine stalling and/or a no-start condition. engine stalling while riding can increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: Suzuki will notify owners and suzuki distributors will replace the regulator/rectifier with an improved part free of charge. the safety recall began on march 2, 2011. owners may contact suzuki at 1-714-572-1490.

Problem: 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.

Risk: 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.

Fix: 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.
