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

Plain-English summary

Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2014, 2015, and 2016 Suzuki DL1000 motorcycles. The affected vehicles were manufactured between January 17, 2014, and July 15, 2015, with specific production windows for each model year. The recall involves 2,410 vehicles.

The defect involves a wiring harness that may rub against the bottom of the fuel tank. Vibration from riding can cause the wiring insulation to wear off, allowing a bare wire to short circuit against the fuel tank. This short circuit may cause the engine to stall, which increases the risk of a crash.

Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the motorcycles and reroute the wiring harnesses as necessary. Any damaged harnesses will be repaired or replaced at no cost to the owner. The recall began on January 29, 2016. Owners may contact Suzuki customer service at 1-714-572-1490 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
