Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 2005 suzuki c50 motorcycle has developed cracks in the front and rear hubs of the wheels. the motorcycle has less than 500 miles on it and is still under warranty. in notifying suzuki of the problems they conveyed to me that this is not a defect and where not liable. but my neighbor's wife has the same style bike and hers has the same cracks on both hubs. i have not wrecked the bike ,i've barely ridden it in the past six months. i've heard from a different bike dealer that several people have complained in the past two weeks and suzuki knows about the problem and is doing nothing to remedy this situation. this problem can lead to the affected wheels coming apart when ridden. now i don't know about you,but having my wheels fall apart going say 55 mph is not a fun time to me. i do not know what suzuki is waiting for...maybe they are hoping this goes away or maybe it will take someone getting killed or maimed before they issue a much needed recall. all i want is my bike fixed or them give me my money back. right now i have a very expensive lawn ornament. *nm
