I OWN A 2003 SUZUKI BURGMAN SCOOTER MODEL AN650 PURCHASED IN AUGUST, 2003. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, AT AROUND 5,000 MILES, THE VEHICLE BEGAN EXHIBITING A "RATTLING" NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION AREA DURING IDLE.

IT THEN BECAME PROGRESSIVELY LOUDER. IN THE MEANTIME, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM SUZUKI USA ON A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUAT…
