- Product
- Vehicles: SUZUKI V650SY, SUZUKI SV650Y. Units affected: 2,518
- Reason
- There is a possibility that the oil pump could draw air into the pump inlet during certain engine running conditions. As a result it may not deliver adequate lubrication to the engine resulting in damage to the con-rod big end bearing. If major damage did occur to the big end bearings this would be accompanied by abnormal engine noise and in the worse case sudden engine failure possibly causing the rear wheel to momentarily lock up disturbing the riders ability to control the motorcycle. Remedy: Recall affected machines and fit oil guide plate.
