I stopped by my stealership Freestate cycles in Maryland to have a new rear tire put on. The service manager told me if I dropped it off for service they wouldn't be able to release because of the recall. He recommended I take it to a non Suzuki dealership until they release a fix for the recall. So from what I gather it's a pretty serious saftey issue, but I'm not to worried in the 7,000 miles I've put on my bike I've had no problems.
