On July 18, 2024, Suzuki Motor Corporation advised its dealer network to stop all sales and delivery of certain 2023 and 2024 V-Strom 800DE and V-Strom 800DE Adventures. On affected bikes, the rear tires may crack, deform, and/or begin separating from the carcass of the tire, in a worst-case scenario.
This could pose a serious safety concern for riders.
