15V853000·ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY:CABLES2015-12-18

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.

RiskAs a result of the poor conductivity, the engine may stall and be unable to be restarted, increasing the risk of a crash.

FixSuzuki 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. Owners may contact Suzuki customer service number at 1-714-996-7040. Suzuki's number for this recall is 2A53.

15V854000·ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION2015-12-18

Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2014 DL1000 motorcycles manufactured January 17, 2014, to June 5, 2014, and 2015 DL1000 motorcycles manufactured November 5, 2014, to February 6, 2015. The ignition switch terminals of the affected vehicles may corrode if they come into contact with liquid such as salt water. As a result, the motorcycle's electrical power may be disconnected or the switch may be bypassed, preventing the engine from being shut off with the ignition key.

RiskIf electrical power is lost, the engine would stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

FixSuzuki will notify owners, and dealers will install a cover for the ignition switch connector, and any corroded ignition lead wire and wire harnesses will be replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began January 19, 2016. Owners may contact Suzuki customer service at 1-714-996-7040. Suzuki's number for this recall is 2A53.

15V851000·ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING2015-12-18

Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2014 Suzuki DL 1000 motorcycles manufactured January 17, 2014, to June 5, 2014, 2015 Suzuki DL1000 motorcycles manufactured November 4, 2014, to February 6, 2015 and 2016 Suzuki DL1000 motorcycles manufactured June 11, 2015, to July 15, 2015.
