CPSC, Suzuki Announce Recall of Automatic Transmission Eiger ATVs

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

Suzuki Motor Corporation has determined that the Eiger automatic ATVs were produced with an internal manufacturing flaw. This flaw could cause the crankshaft to break during operation. A broken crankshaft will interrupt power transfer from the engine to the transmission and the drive wheels, leaving the driver stranded away from his or her base of operation.

What to do

Consumers should contact their local Suzuki dealer to schedule an appointment for their ATV to be inspected and repaired. Suzuki will replace all Eiger ATVs for a new one if the unit is brought in by January 31, 2002. After that date, they will be offering a free inspection and repair. American Suzuki Motor Corporation will notify consumers directly about this recall.
