NHTSA Campaign 13V449000
SERVICE BRAKES
Issued by Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. · Reported Oct 18, 2013 · 208,966 vehicles affected
What's wrong
Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2004-2013 GSX-R600 and GSX-R750, and model year 2005-2013 GSX-R1000 motorcycles. In combination with older brake fluid, corrosion of the brake piston inside of the front brake master cylinder generates gas that may result in a reduction of fluid pressure transmission to the front brake.
Consequence
As a result, front braking power may be reduced increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front brake master cylinder, free of charge. The recall began on November 18, 2013. Owners may contact Suzuki at 1-800-572-1490. Suzuki's campaign numbers for this recall are: 2A (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36).
