The short answer

NHTSA received AMERICAN SUZUKI MOTOR CORP.’s report on Nov 1, 2005. Copied from NHTSA on Nov 5, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

IF THE FUEL PUMP RETAINING RING IS NOT PROPERLY SEATED ON THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL PUMP RETAINING RING COULD BE DEFORMED DURING NORMAL EXPANSION OF THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK, RESULTING IN INSUFFICIENT SEALING PERFORMANCE AND FUEL LEAKAGE. THIS COULD PRESENT A FIRE SAFETY HAZARD AND RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH.

ON CERTAIN SCOOTERS, THE FUEL PUMP RETAINING RING MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED RESULTING IN IMPROPER SEATING OF THE FUEL PUMP RETAINING RING ON THE FUEL TANK DUE TO MISALIGNMENT OF THE THREADS.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
