Suzuki 2005 Model Year Eiger and Vinson ATVs
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
American Suzuki Motor Corp. is recalling certain 2005 model year Eiger and Vinson all-terrain vehicles due to a defect in the fuel petcock insert. The inserts were manufactured with incorrect material that does not properly bond to the fuel tank, which could cause fuel to leak. This fuel leakage poses a fire hazard that could result in injury or property damage.
The recall affects only specific model year and VIN ranges: Model LT-A400FK5 ATVs with ending VINs from 57104462 through 57105157, Model LT-F400FK5 ATVs with ending VINs from 57103131 through 57103730, and Model LT-A500FK5 ATVs with ending VINs from 57105616 through 57106276, though not all VINs within these ranges are included. According to the record, consumers who own a recalled ATV should stop using it immediately and contact their local Suzuki ATV dealer to schedule a free repair. Owners can locate their VIN stamped on the ATV frame between the left rear tire and fender, and should have this number available when contacting a dealer or Suzuki if unsure whether their vehicle is affected.
