What's wrong: 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…

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

The fix: Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the regulator/rectifier, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin March 4, 2016.
