Suzuki Motor USA, LLC: 2022 Hayabusa Motorcycles Recalled for Front Brake Master Cylinder Defect

Agency Publication Date: February 15, 2023

Summary

Suzuki Motor USA is recalling approximately 2,552 of its 2022 GSX1300RRQ/ZM2 (Hayabusa) motorcycles because of a manufacturing error in the front brake system. The front brake master cylinder was built with an incorrectly positioned internal port that can become blocked, creating an unintended gap between the brake pads and the discs. Owners can have this issue resolved by visiting an authorized dealer for a free replacement of the master cylinder body.

Risk

The gap between the brake pads and discs can significantly increase the distance required to stop the motorcycle. This reduced braking performance increases the likelihood of a crash, though no specific injuries or incidents were reported in this notice.
