Saw this on Stromtrooper and thought it might be of interest to people here. Looks like the US may be getting a Stator recall on the 650

Will be interesting to see if this comes across to the UK

Just got the letter! see my own thread just posted.

Looking at that thread is it the stator, reg/rec or both under recall. It doesn't seem clear.

The report on Stromtroopers is confusing, it strays into rectifier/regulator tnen into Strom 1000's.

My recall is for the stator only on the 650 and I assume recent models, that is to say at least the AL5.

So, anyone else got the letter yet?

Just put my VIN number into the Recall Checker on Suzuki UK website and it says no recall..?? Mines a 2016 registered AL5.....

It is the stator only.

I've had nothing. Mine is a 2016 registered L5

Checked my VIN number on the recall checker and nothing pending at the moment.

Just checked mine and after speaking to Suzuki customer services, It has does have a recall for the stator. The bike is a 2013 reg AL3 DL650. I found this on their website (prompted by this forum I have to say). No idea if they were going to make contact themselves etc.

I'm glad my L3 hasn't been for the valve recall yet, best wait & see if it's got the stator recall first.
Do we know what model years are affected?

Hi All
Just checked on the Suzuki website, mine needs a new stator.

It's a 650 AL5.
Phoned David Jones in Newtown, it's a 2 hour job, they have the parts so I will make an appointment for the new year.

Well done blokes and girls, this forum works really well.

PB

Just checked my bike, says work required, but doesn't say what exactly.

Just checked my vin number on the Suzuki website and mine is showing up as a recall. As has been said above the recall doesn't tell you what it's for, so I contacted my dealer in Lincoln and he confirmed that it's for a stator replacement. They haven't got any in as yet.
It's good that this has been highlighted on this forum, as I've received no letter from Suzuki ( yet ) what's not clear is if we should carry on using the bike as normal, or wait till the bikes been done.
Thanks for posting this here for the benefit of others.

I spoke to my local agent to see if the work could wait until the service in April but they suggested having in done fairly quickly as it could affect the charging of the bike. So it's a trip to Newtown in the new year. Hope it's not chucking down as I don't normally ride in the wet and my gear is not that waterproof.

( Yes I know I'm a wimp but if you don't have to get wet why would you)

I have just checked with the Suzuki website and mine, an AL5 model, is due for some work, although it does not say what work.

Does anybody know, exactly, what the recall is for?

Lincsman · « **Reply #15 on:** December 20, 2016, 12:28:12 »

Yes, it's for the stator to be replaced.

WayneS · « **Reply #16 on:** December 20, 2016, 12:30:18 »

I have just checked with my local Suzuki dealer and it is the stator.

The kit has been ordered and will be fitted in January.

Stonec0ld · « **Reply #17 on:** December 20, 2016, 13:06:42 »

Does anyone have a link for the Suzuki website to check the VIN?

Mine is down for stator replacement and tappet work. The tappet job has actually been done 6 weeks ago.

2013 DL650

I haven't received a letter yet, however Suzuki's website says there's 'Work required' on the bike (2012 L2 Glee). Doesn't say what the work is though (guessing sator) and am having trouble booking it in - website keeps telling me to fill in the missing info on the form, but all fields are filled in

will just email them.
