On certain scooters, if the ignition switch is misoperated to a position between OFF and ON, unstable contact between the ignition switch contacts can cause a continuous arc discharge between the contacts. Heat from the discharge can cause melting of the contact base plate. If the motorcycle is ridden in this condition for an extended period of time, the contacts may lose conductivity causing the lighting system to become inoperative and the engine to stall and be unable to be restarted. Correction: Dealers will replace the contact base plate assembly.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2005248.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Suzuki An400, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Suzuki: 132 in the register, and 404 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2005.
