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.

Filed Mar 22, 2025

150/70/17, have had a recall on my rear tire for almost a year, and my dealer is doing nothing about it, bike has been parked for almost a year while making payments, i have been more than patient with them and have received no help. i was on a 700 mile ride when i noticed my rear tire rubber separating as if it was melted. i have called my dealer several times and they told me they were waiting on the response from suzuki. i have also had other issues from this dealer on kickstand issues, and when i purchased the bike, i rode it for a while and came home to clean it and noticed the the "pinch" bolts that hold my axle in place were missing, and this was even after a full service was done on my bike at the dealership after my engine break-in mileage was reached. i called and sent pictures to my dealer and they said, sorry, come get some more bolts tomorrow. i am simply tired of this situation and would love for it to be resolved. thank you.
