Suzuki has issued a recalled for the Access, Avenis,Burgman 125 and the V-STROM 800DE in India
Suzuki has issued a massive recall for three of its scooters. The recall has been issued on July 25th 2024 and affects vehicles manufactured between April 30th 2022 to December 3rd 2022.
This particular issue affects the Suzuki Access 125, Burgman 125 and Avenis 125. This issue is caused due to a faulty high tension cord which is installed to the ignition coil. This is what Suzuki describes the issue to be, “Since high tension cord which did not meet the drawing requirements (NG) was installed to ignition coil, crack and breakage occurred in high tension cord due to repeated bending caused by engine oscillation during running, resulting in engine stall and starting failure. Further, when cracked high tension cord is exposed to water, the vehicle speed sensor and throttle position sensor may be damaged by the leaked ignition output, resulting in speed display failure or starting failure”.
Suzuki has listed the number of affected units to be 2,63,788 for the Access, 52,578 for the Avenis and 72,025 for the Burgman 125. Suzuki also mentions this to be a precautionary recall and has informed affected owners to visit their nearest service center to have the part replaced.
Suzuki has also issued an unrelated recall for the V-STROM 800DE in India for vehicles manufactured between May 5 2023 to April 23rd 2024. This is an international recall and Suzuki estimates that up to 67 units have been affected in India. The issue here stems from a faulty rear tyre where cracks or deformations can form in the tire tread. If gone unchecked, portions of the rear tire tread may separate from the tyre structure and impact overall vehicle dynamics. Affected bikes will have a new rear tyre installed.
