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

The contact stated that after several attempts the motorcycle restarted. After restarting the motorcycle, the motorcycle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. The contact stated that the failure never occurred during cold starts, only after the motorcycle had been running for a while and had reached operating temperatures. No warning lights were illuminated. The motorcycle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure, and surmised that fuel the contact was using had insufficient octane levels, resulting in combustion issues. The contact was advised to use a higher-octane fuel, which the contact used; however, the higher-octane fuel had not resolved the failure. The motorcycle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and an engineer was sent to inspect the motorcycle. However, the engineer was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact stated that the engineers were unsatisfactory because he had only attempted to cold start the motorcycle. The failure mileage was 6,000.
