Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The rear hub on the suzuki c50 was full of cracks,especially around the spoke holes. they were getting worse. if the hub disintegrated it would kill me and my wife. this was not a isolated incident,the web was full of people with the same complaint. i hope someone did not have to get killed from this defect to have them recall it. the motorcycle had only 1500 miles on it , and was still under warranty. i counted 30 severe cracks in the left side hub around the spoke holes. so now we could not ride it because the hub will come apart on us . it was a dangerous defect. *ak
