Suzuki Motorcycles India has recalled select units of its quarter-litre models, the Gixxer 250 and the Gixxer 250 SF over engine vibration issue. This voluntary recall affects 199 units of the quarter-litre models that were manufactured between 12 August, 2019 and 21 March 2021.
As per the recall notice posted on Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), the affected models suffer from an increased engine vibration due to the incorrect positioning of the balancer drive gear. The company added in the recall notice that the template for marking the matching positions was not used by a supervisor, thus causing the issue.
