SERVICE BRAKES
NHTSA #13V449000Reported October 18, 2013 · Suzuki Motor of America, Inc.
Defect description
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.
Safety consequence
As a result, front braking power may be reduced increasing the risk of a crash.
Free manufacturer remedy
