Suzuki Motor Corporation has also recalled about 1,350 Suzuki QuadSport ATVs. The distributors of the ATVs include American Suzuki Motor Corp., of Brea, Calif.; Montgomery Motors Ltd., of Honolulu, Hawaii; and Suzuki del Caribe Inc., of Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. The regulator/rectifier circuit board can fail and cause the engine to stall during riding due to an insufficient battery charge, increasing the risk of a crash. American Suzuki has received 11 reports of regulator/rectifier failure. The company says no injuries have been reported.

This recall affects all 2009 LT-Z400 and LT-Z400Z QuadSport ATVs. The words “QuadSport” and the model number are written on the front left fender of the ATV. The ATVs were sold at Suzuki ATV dealers nationwide from September 2008 through February 2011 for between $6,500 and $6,700. Consumers should immediately stop using these vehicles and contact a local Suzuki ATV dealer to schedule an appointment for a free repair. Consumers with recalled ATVs are being sent a notice directly from Suzuki.
