The recall covers specific 2008 to 2011 model years, including LT-A450X, LT-A500X, and LT-A750X models.

Consumers should immediately stop using these vehicles and contact a local Suzuki ATV dealer to schedule a free repair. Owners of 2011 LT-A500X and LT-A750X models should call their dealer to determine if their specific vehicle is subject to the recall. Suzuki is also sending notices directly to consumers with recalled ATVs. For more information, consumers can contact Suzuki at (800) 444-5077 or visit www.suzukicycles.com.
