2018 SUZUKI GSX250R Recalls — Canada & USA
Summary
The 2018 Suzuki GSX250R has 3 recalls, the most serious involving lighting failures that can reduce visibility and confuse other road users. The rear brake light switch can corrode after water gets inside, causing the brake light to either fail to come on when the brake is applied or stay lit continuously when it isn't, leaving other drivers unable to read your intentions. The headlight bulb can also fail without warning and go dark, reducing how well you can see the road ahead at night or in low-visibility conditions.
On certain motorcycles, water could enter the rear brake light switch and cause it to fail. This could cause the brake light not to come on when the rear brakes are applied or it could cause the brake light to stay on continuously when the ignition is on.
Safety Risk
A brake light that does not work properly could result in road users being confused of a rider's intentions. This could increase the risk of a crash
Remedy
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their motorcycle to a dealer to install an improved rear brake stop lamp switch.
