Sales halted.

ii called my dealer and they said the part is already on order for mine. They recognized it as a recall.

In Canada there's a recall, but there isn't one in the United States.

Hi all, we in Australia have the same recall for ABS problem.

Just talked with my sales guy and learned that the ABS Modulators are on backorder but he expects to find out tomorrow when the dealership can expect to receive the parts.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Just posted in another thread in New Owner, but I got the call from the dealer today that the part is on order (backorder). At least they've acknowledged the recall and are doing something.

The recall has been acknowledged, from Suzuki as of after 5Pm yesterday.
Parts will be ready for shipment asap.

 

[ldryder]

Any guesses as to what "backordered" means.... time wise?

My guy said it could be anywhere from a week to a few months. I'm wondering how long it takes Nissin to make a few thousand ABS Modulators once they fixed their manufacturing process. Especially since the problem was identified months ago.

Is Suzuki delays this too much, I may have to buy another bike!

2012 left over

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Ironically I had a black/black 2012 lined up which I could have had for about $400 less. I paid 'extra' for the ABS! Technically I wanted the Brembo brakes and didn't care about ABS which almost makes it worse yet.

I doubt Suzuki is actually on a back-order with the parts. They are probably on a parts delay because they are still waiting for them to come in and fill the orders, but their dealer system doesn't have a "word" to describe that

hardly a reason to stop riding...

 

[JRoberts1983]

Mine just shipped from the warehouse to my dealer yesterday once the recall was completed. Sooooooo excited!

 

[btbusa]

so it cant be turned off on the new bike?

Officially, I'm sure there's no on/off switch to deactivate the ABS... But...
If you really wanted to turn it off, the easiest way would be to find the ABS fuse and splice a switch in the feed wire. All ABS systems are designed to revert to 'normal' and non-modulated in the event of a power or controller failure, and will bring up a warning light on the dash that ABS isn't in operation - effectively giving you standard braking.

Hth.

I'm well aware of the recall and the TSB out for it.

or greg and justin will updating software soon...

 

[sinister13]

Dealer I bought my bike from called me and left a voicemail Thursday about the recall and told me to bring it in whenever. I'm not sure if he meant to bring it in and they'll fix it whenever they get the part, or if they already have it. I'm thinking the former

 

[btbusa]

or greg and justin will updating software soon...

Quite possibly - but at least with a switch you can turn it back on easily if you feel the need

 

[ldryder]

Has anyone had their 2013 repaired yet?
