How do I receive the fastest possible service (cont.)

When you pick up your repaired motorcycle, please allow a few extra minutes for your dealer to

prepare and complete the necessary warranty paperwork with you. If you have special

circumstances, discuss them with your Suzuki dealer. Suzuki understands that some customers

may have difficult circumstances to overcome in bringing their motorcycle to the dealership for

repair. We have asked your Suzuki dealer to work closely and flexibly with you to arrange

alternative, but reasonable solutions for your special requests.  Please remember however, that

each dealership has its own limitations in providing special assistance due to staff size, available

time and dealership location. Your dealer can also consult with Suzuki on other alternatives.

service. Please call your dealer if you have any questions. Your local Suzuki dealer can provide the

If you have difficulty having the recall service performed on your motorcycle you may contact the

Customer Reimbursement

If your motorcycle is included in the recall and you have paid for the repair or replacement of the

ignition switch, you may be eligible for full or partial reimbursement. Please note the following

Only repairs that are the subject of the safety recall are reimbursable. Additional expenses

such as towing, rental, accommodations, damage repairs, etc will not be reimbursed.

Reimbursement may be limited to suggested list price on parts and the Suzuki published

flat rate time allowance.

An owner will not be eligible for reimbursement if the expenses for repairs are incurred more

Reimbursement claims may also be excluded when you do not submit adequate documen-

tation. Your authorized Suzuki dealer will request an original or copy of your receipt for

the recall repair or replacement, and your owner notification letter.
