Consumer Description

I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF THIS REAR SUBFRAME FAILING AT THE WELDS, ESPECIALLY WHEN CARRYING A PASSENGER. THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTED FAILURES, BOTH IN THE UK AND USA, AND SUZUKI UK SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY ENTITY PERFORMING REPAIRS WITH STEEL REPLACEMENTS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SUZUKI USA PERFORM SIMILAR REPLACEMENTS, FOR SAFETY'S SAKE.
