Recall 11V-108: 2008–2009 Suzuki Burgman 400, 2008–2009 Suzuki DL1000 and 10 more
AMERICAN SUZUKI MOTOR CORP. recall for electrical system, reported to NHTSA on Feb 23, 2011, covering about 73,426 vehicles.
The problem
Suzuki is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2010 motorcycles manufactured from july 2007 through september 2009, equipped with regulator/rectifier assemblies, suzuki part numbers 32800-41f11, 32800-15h10, 32800-05h11, 32800-41g10, 32800-15h00, 32800-18h00, 32800-05g10, 32800-10g10, 32800-05h20, or 32800-06g01. Some regulator/rectifier assemblies were produced with insufficient adhesion between the power module (Circuit board) and the rectifier case that contains a heat sink to dissipate heat. Due to insufficient adhesion, heat generated on the power module circuit board can cause the circuit board to deform, and lift of the case.
The risk
This condition causes excessive heat on the circuit board and uncontrolled electric current output, which can result in insufficient charging current being provided to the motorcycle battery. This can cause discharge of the battery and can lead to engine stalling and/or a no-start condition. Engine stalling while riding can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Suzuki will notify owners and suzuki distributors will replace the regulator/rectifier with an improved part free of charge. The safety recall began on march 2, 2011. Owners may contact suzuki at 1-714-572-1490.
