The 2013 Suzuki SFV650 has two recalls, the more serious being an engine wear issue where the tappets and camshaft can wear down prematurely, causing the engine to stall without warning and raising the risk of a crash.
The second recall involves the fuel tank breather hose, which can kink and allow pressure to build inside the tank. That pressure can crack the tank and cause a fuel leak, which raises the risk of fire.
