What’s the problem?
Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2013, 2015, and 2017 GW250 motorcycles. Water may enter the main wiring harness at the rear brake light switch connectors, possibly corroding the brake light switch.
What could happen?
The corrosion may cause an electrical short and the loss of the head light, tail light and brake lights, increasing the risk of a crash.
What’s the fix?
Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will install an improved brake light switch assembly, and install a water protection cover, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on November 28, 2016. Owners may contact Suzuki customer service at 1-714-572-1490. Suzuki's number for this recall is 2A66.
