Never heard of the recall. Two months ago my bike cracked the starter clutch case and everything while trying to start it. It took the dealer two months to get everything squared out and replace the started clutch assembly. I had talked to the regional suzuki rep (boston) and he told me that although there were many of these bikes ('02 SE) breaking in the same way, they were just covering the repairs under warranty. BTW, there was another bike at the shop I had mine with the same problem.
