THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED REGARDING THE CAMSHFT CHAIN TENSIONER WHICH INCLUDED REPLACING THE TENSIONER WITH A DIFFERENT PART. THIS RECALL WORK HAD ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. AFTER 7000 MILES THE TENSIONER FAILED AGAIN. IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. WITHIN 3000 MILES THE TENSIONER FAILED AND WAS REPLACED. AFTER ABOUT 15000 MORE MILES THE TENSIONER IS FAILING ONCE AGAIN. *JG
THE Y PIPE ON THIS VEHICLE HAS BECOME NOISY, AND LEAKS FUMES. THE VEHICLE HAS OXYGEN SENSORS WHICH CONNECT TO THIS PIPE TO KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING PROPERLY. THE COST TO REPLACE THIS PIPE IS EXCESSIVE , MORE THAN $400.00 , AND SUZUKI HAS HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THIS "Y" PIPE WHICH IS LOCATED BETWEEN THREE CAT. CONVERTERS, AND ALSO HAS A WAITING PERIOD TO GET. I BELIEVE THIS ITEM IS MADE CHEAP AND SUZUKI IS AWARE IT HAS A SHORT LIFE PERIOD . FURTHER I FEEL SUZUKI SHOULD REPLACE THIS ITEM AS A RECALL, AS THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS A SAFETY INSPECTION WITH THE PIPE IN THIS CONDITION.
WHILE TRAVELING AND WHEN CHANGING GEARS MOTORCYCLE WOULD SLOW DOWN. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK
3 of 3 complaints, reproduced as filed.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
