What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where brake light failure increases the risk of a crash, but no injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

American Suzuki Motor Corp. is recalling certain model year 2012 AN400, AN650, and DL650 scooters and motorcycles manufactured prior to December 17, 2011. The recall involves 1,396 vehicles where the lever-mounted brake light actuating switch(es) may fail.

On the AN400 and AN650 models, this switch failure will prevent the scooters from starting. On all affected models, the failure may cause the brake lights to not illuminate when braking, which increases the risk of a crash with a trailing vehicle.

Suzuki will notify owners, and distributors will replace the brake light actuating switch free of charge. The safety recall began on February 13, 2011. Owners may contact Suzuki at 1-714-996-7040 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
