A LEAK HAS DEVELOPED ALONG THE SEAM OF MY 2000 SUZUKI KATANA'S FUEL TANK, THIS LEAK IS RIGHT ABOVE A SPARK PLUG AND COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO A SERIOUS FIRE. IT APPEARS THAT THE LEAK IS IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL FOR THE SUZUKI 1998-2005 VL1500'S WHICH STATES: "REPEATED STRESS AROUND THE RIGHT FRONT FUEL TANK MOUNTING POINT CAN CAUSE A HAIRLINE CRACK TO FORM DUE TO METAL FATIGUE. THIS CAN ALLOW FUEL SEEPAGE TO OCCUR. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, SEEPED FUEL CAN CAUSE A FIRE." *TR

Reading this record

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.
