Suzuki recalls scooters, bikes

American Suzuki Motor Corp. is recalling certain model year 2012 AN400 and AN650 scooters and DN650 motorcycles manufactured prior to Dec. 17 because the lever-mounted brake light actuating switch might fail. The potential number of affected units is 1,396.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report says that on the scooters, failure of the switches will prevent the scooters from starting. On all affected models, failure of the break light switch might cause the brake lights to not illuminate when the breaking, increasing the risk of a crash with a trailing vehicle.
