Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA 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.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

SERVICE BRAKES

Oct 18, 2013
208,966 units potentially affected
The defect: 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.
The risk: As a result, front braking power may be reduced increasing the risk of a crash.
The 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).

Fire reported

I WAS AT A STOPLIGHT WHEN THE VEHICLE NEXT TO ME TOLD ME THAT MY BIKE WAS ON FIRE. I WAS UNAWARE PRIOR TO THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE NEXT TO ME TELLING ME. I COULD NOT DIRECTLY SEE THE FLAME WHILE UPRIGHT ON THE BIKE, BUT I WAS ABLE TO LEAN OVER TO MY LEFT SIDE TO SEE A FLAME UNDERNEATH THE GAS TANK. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY BUT UNFORTUNATELY COULD NOT PUT THE FLAME OUT AS IT WAS NOT REACHABLE BY THE MEANS THAT I HAD AT THE TIME. THE FLAME WAS COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BIKE DIRECTLY UNDER THE GAS TANK. IT WAS MORE ON THE INTERIOR THAN ON THE EXTERIOR SO I COULD NOT REACH THE FLAME TO PUT IT OUT SO I CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO PUT THE FIRE OUT. BY THE TIME THEY ARRIVED THE BIKE WAS ESSENTIALLY TOTALED BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT.

ABRUPT ON/OFF THROTTLE CAN CAUSE SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED RAPID DECELERATION AND ACCELERATION, DESTABILIZING THE VEHICLE POTENTIALLY LEADING TO LOSS OF CONTROL AND A CRASH. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR AT LOWER ENGINE RPM'S (4,000-6,000 RPM) AND SEEMS MOST PREVALENT AT HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURES (205+ DEGREES) AND ESPECIALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON AND STARTED WHILE AT HIGHER TEMPERATURES. THIS COULD BE FROM A RUSTING THROTTLE CONTROL VALVE THAT IS NOT OPENING CORRECTLY. THE BIKE WAS STORED INDOORS AND RARELY SAW RAIN, SHOULD NOT BE RUSTING. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
