doboy it is only the stator that is exchanged, no reg/rec so assume stator to be same as old one but hopefully modded to remove fault.

Has anyone had the recall done yet? do you get a free oil change with it?

Mine is booked in on 5 Jan with CJ Ball, it should only take couple of hours.

Just checked my AL4 DL650 on the Suzuki site and it needs a recall, I guess for the stator work. Frustrating part is that I can't send them my details on line 'cos I haven't settled which bike I want a brochure for !!! .... aarghh! I don't want a brochure I want to get my bike recalled .... Suzuki PLEASE LISTEN !!!

Are some Glee's not included? Mine's still showing as nothing out standing.

Called my dealer last week to book my 2015 AL5 in to solve a problem with the Scottoiler, and he mentioned a recall, but didn't elaborate so thought it was to do with the oiler? Dropped it off this morning and was only informed when collecting this evening that they had "done the recall work" but I had to ask what it was? Needless to say it was the stator.

Didn't receive any formal notice beforehand and wasn't given paperwork confirming the stater had been changed? Seems a bizarre way for Suzuki and their dealership to manage a recall?

My 2011 Glee is booked in. Going to On The Wheel in Sussex, anyone have any dealings with them?

Stator replaced today at CJ Ball in Norwich, no issues and great service from them as always. Not overly concerned they did not inform me, probably beat the to it rhanks to the info sharing on this forum ☺

Probably because it's not considered a safety related recall ,if it was Suzuki would be via the DVLA contacting all registered keepers. Well that's what Honda had to do early this year and 5 years ago when my Black Spirit was subject to a safety recall.

Just had the recall letter drop through my door!
It says on the letter it is a 'safety recall'!!
Off on holiday for a week from Sunday so I'll call & make arrangements to get it done when we get back. The only decision is, which dealer? When I had the valves done that dealer put the wrong plugs in, standard instead of Iridium, so not keen to use them again!! A post above mentions the Two Wheel Centre in Mansfield, which is only a few miles further, so might give them a chance.

Yep, letter here too.
I still need the valve recall done too.

I've had the recall letter today.

Having clocked up 23,500 miles (a lot of which have been two up) and some in v. hot temperatures; would the problem not have shown up by now?

Stonec0ld · « **Reply #92 on:** January 06, 2017, 14:12:31 »

My letter arrived today as well. Says to contact the dealer, which I did on 22nd December. They said they would contact Suzuki to get paperwork then call me back to book an appointment. I'm still waiting... It's over 2 weeks but we did have Christmas and new Year in the middle, reckon it's worth chasing?

Only a small percentage of bikes subject to the problem ever develop it. I've seen many reports of failure not occurring until after 30,000 miles.

Same here just delivered.
Now will have to decide where to take it . Probably in a few months time when back on road as by then it will need it's 12 months service

Mine booked in at M&S Newcastle next Tuesday.
Paul at M&S told me the Suzuki bulletin says the job schedule is for 2 hrs and includes an oil change but not a new oil filter. He also said that the bike should be stood 'for at least a couple of hours' to cool down before they start the job.
That means 4 hours mooching around the bike shops on Westgate Road for me. I'll leave my bank card at home I think.

Paul N. As I said earlier I don't have much confidence in SMC.

bigpie · « **Reply #97 on:** January 06, 2017, 15:51:23 »

My letter came today, I'm loathed to use SMC again, but it's so close to work it's the most convenient as long as it gets done in one day instead of the 3 weeks the last one took.

If you do contact them let me know if they book you in or just say they'll contact you later to book in like they did with me.

Thanks Grey Wolf. I've booked it in for Friday the thirteenth
