All Suzuki SFV-650 recalls, newest first

  1. AN400, DL1000, GSF1250, GSF650, GSR600, GSX1300BK, GSX1300R, GSX650, GSXR600, GSXR750, SFV-650, VLR1800, VZ1500 · engine may stall and/or fail to start

    8 Feb 2016 · RM/2016/013

    The adhesive used to fix the circuit board to the outer casing of the regulator/rectifier may have been affected by moisture. Due to the insufficient adhesion the heat generated can cause the circuit board to deform and lift away from the case. This condition causes excessive heat and uncontrolled electric current output which can result in the poor charging to the battery battery discharge the engine stalling and or a No-start condition.

    Fix: Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace the regulator rectifier.

  2. AN650, DL650, GSR750, GSX1250, GSX650, SFV-650 · engine may stall

    8 Feb 2016 · RM/2016/010

    It is possible for contamination to get between the tappet and the cam and cause surface damage and wear to the cam. If this condition occurs the valve clearance can become large and cause abnormal engine noises and in worst case engine to stall.

    Fix: Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and check the tappet clearances and in some cases replace cams and adjust tappets.

  3. AN400, DL1000, GSF1250, GSF650, GSR600, GSX1300BK, GSX1300R, GSX650, GSXR750, SFV-650, VLR1800, VZ1500 · engine may stall and/or fail to start

    8 Feb 2016 · RM/2016/004

    The regulator/rectifier circuit board may have absorbed moisture during storage under high humidity conditions which reduced the strength of the adhesive used to fix the circuit board to the outer casing. Due to the insufficient adhesion the heat generated can cause the circuit board to deform and lift away from the case. This condition causes excessive heat and uncontrolled electric current output which can result in the poor charging to the battery. This can cause the battery to discharge and lead to engine stalling and/or a no-start condition.

    Fix: Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace the regulator/rectifier.

  4. SFV-650 · possibility of tank deforming and fuel leak

    29 Jan 2016 · RM/2016/012

    The fuel tank breather may have been positioned incorrectly during assembly and become kinked. If the hose is kinked the air flow through the breather hose will be obstructed and the fuel tank internal vacuum can become high and cause the tank to deform with the possibility damage to the tank and fuel leaking.

    Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the fuel tank breather for airflow. The fuel tank breathers will be replaced. If tank damage is found replace fuel tank.

  5. DL1000, GSF1250, GSF650, GSR600, GSX1300, GSX600, GSX650, GSX750, LTZ400, SFV-650, VL800, VLR1800, VZ1500 · engine may cut out

    18 Apr 2011 · RM/2011/002

    Regulator/Rectifier unit may fail in use due to poor adhesion between an internal circuit board and the external heat sink (external casing). resulting in an open circuit and failure. This causes insufficient battery charging current to the battery and can lead to engine stalling and non start when in use.

    Fix: Replacement of all Regulator/Rectifiers in VIN range with quality assured units.
