Suzuki recalled LT-R450 vehicles. There may be a weld of insufficient strength joining a mounting bush to the attachment bracket of the main rear suspension pivot. The dealer will fit in cases where the fracture has opened up a modified frame. You won't usually pay for it.1
What’s Wrong
There may be a weld of insufficient strength joining a mounting bush to the attachment bracket of the main rear suspension pivot. The circular bush is joined by two opposing welds of approximately a quarter of the circumference each. Under heavy use the welds can develop a fracture and prolonged use in this condition can lead to detachment.
DVSA's Original Wording
Concern: FRAME MAY CRACK AND DETACH Defect: It has been identified that there may be a weld of insufficient strength joining a mounting bush to the attachment bracket of the main rear suspension pivot.

Under heavy use the welds can develop a fracture and prolonged use in this condition can lead to detachment. Remedy: Recalled machines whether displaying the concern or not will have the brackets over-welded around the full circumference of the bush. In cases where the fracture has opened up a modified frame will be fitted.
