The defect
Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2016 GSX-S1000 motorcycles manufactured July 8, 2015, to July 29, 2015, GSX-S1000A motorcycles manufactured July 10, 2015, to August 24, 2015 and, and GSX-S1000FA motorcycles manufactured July 21, 2015, to July 27, 2015. The affected motorcycles may leak brake fluid from the front brake calipers.
The risk
If the front brake calipers leak brake fluid, braking performance would be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Suzuki has notified owners, and dealers will replace the front brake calipers, free of charge. The recall began on December 1, 2015. Owners may contact Suzuki customer service at 1-714-572-1490. Suzuki's number for this recall is 2A48.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
