Product description
Suzuki model DR-Z110K5 is a small motorcycle designed for a rider weighing less than 121 pounds. Suzuki dealers sold these ATVs nationwide between July 2004 and early November 2004. They are yellow in color with red stripe on the side of the fuel tank with a large "S", the Suzuki logo.
Reason for recall
The rear shock absorber may have been assembled with an incorrect o-ring, allowing fluid to leak from the shock absorber. Fluid loss from the shock absorber can compromise the shock's damping characteristics, which can render the motorcycle unstable, creating a potential for injury or death.
Remedy, what to do
Consumers should stop using these motorcycles immediately and contact a local Suzuki dealer to schedule an appointment for repair service.
