2005 Suzuki Burgman 650 recalls

Recall 05V-497: Fuel System, Gasoline

Reported Nov 1, 2005 · 769 vehicles affected · AMERICAN SUZUKI MOTOR CORP.

Problem: On certain scooters, the fuel pump retaining ring may have been improperly installed resulting in improper seating of the fuel pump retaining ring on the fuel tank due to misalignment of the threads.

Risk: If the fuel pump retaining ring is not properly seated on the fuel tank, the fuel pump retaining ring could be deformed during normal expansion of the plastic fuel tank, resulting in insufficient sealing performance and fuel leakage. This could present a fire safety hazard and risk of injury or death.

Fix: Dealers will repair or replace the fuel pump retaining ring. The recall began on november 3, 2005. Owners may contact suzuki at 714-572-1490.

After completing all recommended services by the dealer where the vehicle was purchased, the vehicle transmission did not engage and I was left stranded along side of a rode. My concern is had this happened on an interstate highway travelling at a greater speed; I could have lost control of the vehicle or been rear-ended because the vehicle abruptly stopped and lost the ability to move under power. Only means of moving the vehicle was to physically push the vehicle.
