What happened

Suzuki is recalling certain 2014 and 2015 DL1000 motorcycles because the ignition switch terminals may corrode if exposed to liquids like salt water. This corrosion can cause the motorcycle's electrical power to disconnect or allow the switch to be bypassed, which could cause the engine to stall and increase the risk of a crash.

Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will install a cover for the ignition switch connector and replace any corroded ignition lead wire and wire harnesses at no cost. The recall began January 19, 2016. Affected owners should contact Suzuki customer service at 1-714-996-7040 to arrange the free repairs. Suzuki's recall number is 2A53.
