Default California 03-06 SV Recall

For those of us who owns a California-spec 03-06 SV650 or SV1000S, you might want to take your bike to your dealer for a recall repair on your fuel tank.

The service dept of the dealer where I bought my bike called me on Tuesday of last week and informed me of the recall action.

Let me see if this link works.

Default SV650S/SV1000S 2003-2006 Recall (California model only)

Published January 27, 2006

Fuel Tank replacement

Suzuki Motor Corporation has determined that repeated stress from vibration can cause a crack to form in the area where the liquid/vapor separator bracket is welded inside the fuel tank. This can allow fuel leakage to occur. In the presence of an ignition source, leaked fuel can cause a fire
