What is wrong
On certain california-specification model motorcycles, repeated stress from vibration can cause a crack to form in the area where the liquid/vapor separator bracket is welded inside the fuel tank. This can allow fuel leakage to occur.
The risk
Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will replace the fuel tank free of charge. The recall began on february 3, 2006. Customers may contact american suzuki at [removed].
