Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

LAST SUNDAY I WAS PREPARING TO WASH MY SUZUKI BURGMAN SCOOTER. THE PROBLEM AROSE WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PLACE THE SCOOTER ONTO IT'S CENTER STAND. I WAS STANDING ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCOOTER WITH MY LEFT HAND ON THE LEFT HANDLEBAR HAND GRIP AND MY RIGHT HAND ON THE PASSENGER GRAB HANDLE. WHEN I USED MY RIGHT FOOT TO DEPRESS THE LEVER THAT IS PART OF THE CENTER STAND AND IS USED TO ELEVATE THE SCOOTER ONTO THE CENTER STAND THE SCOOTER SLOWLY FELL AWAY FROM ME ONTO IT'S RIGHT SIDE CAUSING THE RIGHT HAND MIRROR, THE RIGHT HAND GRIP AND THE MUFFLER COVERS TO BECOME SCRATCHED AND DAMAGED. HAD THE SCOOTER FALLEN TOWARDS ME, OR IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN STANDING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCOOTER, INJURY COULD EASILY HAVE OCCURRED. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE CENTER STAND LEVER I NOTED THAT IT , ALONG WITH THE LEFTHAND SIDE OF THE CENTER STAND HAD BROKEN ENTIRELY AWAY FROM THE REMAINDER OF THE CENTER STAND. THIS BREAKAGE CAUSED THE SCOOTER TO FALL. THIS IS THE ONLY TIME THE CENTER STAND HAS FAILED ON MY SCOOTER HOWEVER I HAVE LEARNED FROM THE INTERNET BASED SUZUKI BURGMAN USERS GROUP THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON OCCURRENCE AND THAT SUZUKI HAS UPGRADED AND REINFORCED THE CENTER STANDS ON THIS MODEL, THE AN 650, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS IN SUBSEQUENT MODEL YEARS. I HAVE RETAINED THE BROKEN PART AND HAVE NOT YET FACILITATED REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENT OF THE BROKEN CENTER STAND. *TR

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
