In India, Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt. Ltd. (SMIPL) has announced a recall impacting around four lakh two-wheelers. To be more precise, the recall affects 2,63,788 Suzuki Access 1125, 72,025 units of Burgman 125, and 52,578 units of Avenis 125. The subsidiary of the Japanese brand issued it on July 25, 2024. It applies to two-wheelers manufactured between April 30 and December 30, 2022.
According to the announcement, the problem comes from a high-tension cord. If the problem remains, it might cause engine stalling, speed display errors, starting failure and failure to start the engine.
The notice further explains the issue: “Since high tension cord which did not meet the drawing requirements (NG) was installed to ignition coil, crack and breakage occurred in high tension cord due to repeated bending caused by engine oscillation during running, resulting in engine stall and starting failure.”
The notice adds, “Further, when cracked high tension cord is exposed to water, the vehicle speed sensor and throttle position sensor may be damaged by the leaked ignition output, resulting in speed display failure or starting failure.”
The brand has termed it a precautionary recall and scooter owners are being notified to get their vehicles inspected at the nearest service centre to fix any problems.
