EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
- The defect
- Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain 2018 GSX250R and GSX250RZ motorcycles. The low and/or high beam headlight may fail.
- What it can cause
- The sudden loss of low and/or high beams can reduce the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the headlight bulb and install a bulb retention spring clip, free of charge. The recall began March 29, 2021. Owners may contact Suzuki customer service at 1-844-352-4921.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 2,100 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 66% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2018, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Suzuki vehicles have been recalled over the exterior lighting 9 times before this, most recently in June 2019 as 19V418000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. with NHTSA on September 30, 2020 as campaign 20V612000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
