Suzuki Recalls 2012 V-Strom 650 and Burgman Scooters
Suzuki issued a recall campaign for its 2012 V-Strom 650 and Burgman scooters due to a defect in the brake light activation switches.
According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, rear brake lights may not activate when the rider squeezes the brake levers of the affected models. As a result, other road users behind the affected unit may not realize it is slowing down, increasing the risk of a crash. In the case of the Suzuki Burgman 650 Exec and Burgman 400, the fault may also prevent the scooters from starting.
Suzuki dealers will replace the brake light activation switches on the affected units. The campaign affects 1,396 units.
