Suzuki Recalls Eiger ATV for Fire Hazard

March 10, 2006
American Suzuki Motor Corp. is recalling about 1,900 2005 model year Eiger ATVs because of a potential fire hazard.

Some of the ATVs were assembled with an improperly manufactured plastic fuel tank. The thin portion of these tanks could develop a fuel leak, posing a fire hazard.

The recall involves certain Suzuki 2005 model year LT-F400FK5 and LT-A400FK5 (Eiger) ATVs. These models are available in yellow, green, or red. Below is a list of make, model and vehicle identification numbers (VIN) involved in the recall.

Suzuki ATV dealers nationwide from March 2005 through February 2006 for between $5,200 and $5,350.

Consumers with recalled ATVs are being sent direct notice from Suzuki. Consumers should stop using these vehicles immediately and contact a local Suzuki ATV dealer to schedule an appointment for a free repair.

Consumer Contact: For more information, consumers can call Suzuki toll-free at (800) 444-5077 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit the firm’s Web site at www.suzukicycles.com.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
