SUBJECT: DL650A/XA, LT-A750X/XP Stator Assy Replacement Recall Campaign

Dear Sirs and Madams,

This letter is to inform you of the “Stator Assy Replacement Recall Campaign” for DL650A/XA L2-L6 and LT-A750X/XP L6-L7.

Due to the lack of heat resistant capacity of stator coil, the insulation material of wiring for the stator may be damaged by engine heat, and the short-circuit between wirings may occur. Continued use of motorcycle with this condition, the generating current by the stator coil may be reduced and the insufficient charging to the battery may cause. In the worst case, it can lead to the engine stalling during running and/or the engine may be impossible to restart.

In view of the nature of this problem, Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC) has decided to carry out the Recall Campaign in your market. The details are explained in the following pages.
