CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION:

In the Safety Recall Campaign letter that will be mailed on June 10, 2008 (see attachment),

customers are being advised to contact the Suzuki dealer where they purchased their affected

unit to schedule an appointment to have the ignition switch lead wire inspected. As some

customers may have moved to other communities since their motorcycle purchase, you may

also receive calls from customers who purchased their Suzuki elsewhere. Once you are

contacted by the owner of an affected unit, please arrange an appointment for a recall

inspection. Also, advise your customers that the Safety Recall Campaign service will be

performed at no cost to them for parts and labor.

IMPORTANT:

Successful completion of this safety recall campaign depends on your efforts.

 

It is your

responsibility to repair any affected GSX1300RK8 within the VIN range at no cost to the

customer for recall service parts and labor. Incidental costs your customers may incur are

not normally covered. However, if you have a customer with special needs, contact your

Technical Service Manager (800/756-3251) to discuss possible solutions.

ORDERING PARTS FOR THE SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN:

You will be responsible for ordering the ignition switch kit for any customer's motorcycle

which had an incorrectly routed ignition switch lead wire. Order the switch kit using your

normal parts ordering methods. New, unsold units at your dealership will not require a

replacement ignition switch kit. Parts are currently available for this campaign.

SPECIAL TOOL AUTO-SHIPMENT

The special tool needed to disassemble the lock cylinder assembly will be auto-shipped

separately at no cost to your dealership during the week of June 9, 2008.
