NHTSA recall 99V270000
Engine And Engine Cooling · Suzuki Motor USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The spring in the cam chain tension adjuster can break allowing the cam chain to jump to the wrong position on the cam shaft sprockets. If the chain jumps to the wrong position, severe engine damage could occur causing sudden engine failure.
Why it matters: Sudden engine failure could cause the rear wheel to lockup, disturbing the rider's ability to control the motorcycle.
The fix: Dealers will replace the original cam chain tension adjuster with a revised cam chain tension adjuster.
