2002–2007 Suzuki GZ250 & 2004–2007 Suzuki GS500 recall: lights
⚠️ What's wrong
The rear reflex reflector on affected GS500 motorcycles and the rear and side reflex reflectors on affected GZ250 motorcycles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, 'lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.' the reflex reflectors have a reflected light output at some measurement angles that is less than the minimum output required by the standard.
💥 The risk
It is possible that this could contribute to a motorist's not noticing the motorcycle in darkness, which may contribute to a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the non-complying reflex reflectors with complying reflectors. The recall began on november 16, 2007. Owners may contact suzuki at 1-800-255-2550.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
