Problem: This campaign involves certain marauder model motorcycles equipped with california evaporative emissions equipment. When a motorcycle is parked after city driving in heavy traffic, under some conditions, elevated pressure in the fuel tank vent line can cause back pressure in through the surge control valve.
Risk: On some occasions this can cause liquid fuel from rear carburetor air filter box. In the presence of an ignition source this fuel leakage can cause a fire.
Fix: Dealers will replace the carbon canister with a newly designed canister and associated vent line changes will be made. The recall began on july 30, 2004. Owners should contact suzuki at 1-800-255-2550.
