Stop-riding campaigns

NHTSA flags these as do-not-drive or park-outside. If your VIN falls inside one, the bike should not be ridden or parked in a garage until a dealer has fixed it.

  • 24V76900016 October 2024Service brakes, hydraulic

    Models: GSX1300R

    Suzuki Motor USA, LLC (Suzuki) is recalling certain 2022-2024 GSX1300R (Hayabusa) motorcycles. The master cylinder internal rubber components may swell due to contamination from the brake fluid cap diaphragm, which can result in a blocked brake fluid port. As such, these motorcycles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 122, "Motorcycle Brake Systems."

    Risk: A blocked brake fluid port can extend the distance required to stop, increasing the risk of a crash.

    Remedy: Dealers will replace the front brake master cylinder body and brake fluid cap diaphragm, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 25, 2024. Owners may contact Suzuki Customer Service at 1-714- 572-1490. Suzuki's number for this recall is 3A04. This recall expands and replaces previous recall number 23V-088. Motorcycles previously recalled under 23V-088 will need to have the new remedy completed.

    Models: DL800

    Suzuki Motor USA, LLC (Suzuki) is recalling certain 2023-2024 DL800DE motorcycles. The rear tire may crack or deform, resulting in tire tread separation.

    Risk: Tread separation may cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

    Remedy: Owners are advised not to ride their motorcycles until the remedy has been completed. Dealers will replace the rear tire, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 20, 2024. Owners may contact Suzuki customer service at 1-714- 572-1490. Suzuki's number for this recall is 3A03.

Reported in 2018 (2)

  • 18V6940004 October 2018Fuel system, gasoline

    Models: GSX-R1000

    Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Suzuki DL650A, DL650XA, GSX-R1000, GSX-R1000R, and 2018 GSX-S750 motorcycles. During installation, the fuel pump O-ring may have been twisted, reducing the sealing performance and possibly resulting in a fuel leak.

    Risk: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

    Remedy: Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel pump O-ring and the fuel tank inner vessel, free of charge. The recall began October 31, 2018. Owners may contact Suzuki customer service at 1-800-934-0934. Suzuki's numbers for this recall are 2A86-2A88.

  • 18V06400022 January 2018Engine and engine cooling

    Models: GSX-R1000

    Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain 2017-2018 GSX-R1000, GSX-R1000A, GSX-R1000RA, and GSX-R1000RZA motorcycles. When upshifting between first and second gear, if the rider fails to engage second gear, a neutral condition will exist and may cause very high engine RPM. If the rider then shifts into second gear without disengaging the clutch, the motorcycle’s chain may stretch or break.

    Risk: If the drive chain breaks, the motorcycle will lose power, increasing the risk of a crash.

    Remedy: Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the Engine Control Module (ECM), and inspect and replace the drive chain and sprockets, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on January 25, 2018. Owners may contact Suzuki customer service at 1-714-572-1490. Suzuki's numbers for this recall are 2A76 to 2A81.

Before the next long ride

A recall is a dealer job, but the pre-trip check around it is yours. Suzuki bikes still need the same roll of tools once you are out of range of one.

Suzuki recall FAQ

How do I check whether my Suzuki has an open recall?
Enter the 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or the Transport Canada recalls database if you are in Canada. The VIN check is the only answer that is specific to your bike: this page lists campaigns for the brand, but whether yours is inside a campaign's build range and whether the work has already been done are both VIN-level facts.
Does a Suzuki recall cost anything to fix?
No. A safety recall is repaired free of charge by an authorised dealer, however old the bike is and however many owners it has had. If you already paid for the same repair before the recall was announced, ask the manufacturer about reimbursement.
How many recalls does a Suzuki have?
4 motorcycle and scooter campaigns are on file with NHTSA for model years 2015–2027, the most recent reported on 16 October 2024. A campaign covers a build range rather than a single bike, so the count says more about how many models the brand sells in the US than about build quality.
Can I ride a Suzuki with an open recall?
It depends on the campaign. NHTSA flags the serious ones as "do not drive" or "park outside", and those are marked on this page — for anything flagged, stop riding and call a dealer. For the rest, book the work at the next service, and get it done before a long or remote trip rather than after it.
What gets recalled most on a Suzuki?
Engine and engine cooling accounts for the largest share — 1 of the 4 campaigns on this page. That is a useful pre-trip inspection hint, not a verdict: check that area yourself before a long ride even if your VIN is clear.
