Suzuki if a gear is missed while upshifting, the strain applied to the drive chain after the next shift may cause the rear axle to move, damaging the left-side drive chain adjuster.
The short version
Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. reported a problem with the power train manual transmission. Here is what owners need to know.
If a gear is missed while upshifting, the strain applied to the drive chain after the next shift may cause the rear axle to move, damaging the left-side drive chain adjuster.
If the drive chain adjuster gets damaged, the drive chain may come off, removing power to the rear wheel, and increasing the risk of a crash.
Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left-side chain adjuster with an improved part, free of charge.
