Electrical System · Suzuki Motor USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Suzuki motor of america, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2014 Suzuki dl1000 motorcycles manufactured January 17, 2014 to June 5, 2014, and 2015 Suzuki dl1000 motorcycles manufactured November 5, 2014, to February 6, 2015. Due to corrosion or being attached to the painted engine case, the battery ground connection may have poor electrical conductivity.
Why it matters: As a result of the poor conductivity, the engine may stall and be unable to be restarted, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will relocate the battery ground connection to an unpainted surface and replace the ground wire protector with a high-heat resistance tube, free of charge. The recall began on January 29, 2016.
