Recall campaignsA 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.

600 units potentially affected
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.

What a recall is

Safety recall
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.
Safety investigation
NHTSA 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.
Manufacturer communication
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
