Suzuki recall
January 13, 2016 CMG Staff 3 Comments
Recall #: 2015605
Models Involved: 2013-2014 Suzuki Burgman 650, 2013-2014 Suzuki Gladius 650, 2014-2015 Suzuki GSX1250FA, 2013-2014 Suzuki GSX650A, 2013-2014 Suzuki V-Strom 650
Number of Vehicles: 1664
Problem: On certain motorcycles, contamination between the valve tappet and cam may cause the hardened surface of the valve tappet to peel if the surface shape of the valve tappet is convex. This would allow the inner part of the valve tappet to come in contact with the cam, which could cause both the valve tappet and cam to wear, increasing the valve tappet clearance.
Correction: For motorcycles with odometer readings of 4,000 kilometers or greater, dealers will inspect the tappet clearances and will replace the valve tappets and camshafts if the valve tappets clearances are greater than the specification. For motorcycles with odometer readings of less than 4,000 kilometers, dealers will replace the tappets and camshafts, because the tappet clearances may be within the specification at low mileage even if there is abnormal wear.
