Defective Suzuki Hayabusa brakes
According to a news report on RideApart.com, Suzuki has issued an urgent recall affecting all 2022 Suzuki Hayabusas. The recall announcement states that the affected Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycles can have “increased front brake level play.” The recall service notice states that the affected motorcycles need a replacement front brake master cylinder body. Moreover, the recalled motorcycles were manufactured with an “incorrect front brake master cylinder port positioning,” which can lead to slack in the brake lever resulting in “increased braking distance and a crash.”
Suzuki’s official recall report states that more than 2,500 Hayabusa motorcycles produced between March 26, 2021, and January 11, 2022, are thought to be affected by the manufacturing defect. All 2022 Suzuki Hayabusas are affected by the recall. The recalled motorcycle has VINs ranging from JS1EJ11B5N7100001 and JS1EJ11B7N7102431, or between VIN numbers JS1EJ11D3N7100001 and JS1EJ11D2N7100247.
The first official report of brake issues was received in Portugal. In that incident, the 2022 Suzuki Hayabusa’s front brake lever suddenly had more travel and later resolved itself after repeated use of the front brake lever. In 2022, more brake-level issues were reported. Suzuki then launched an investigation to diagnose the issue. Eventually, Suzuki’s corporate technicians found out that the front brake master cylinder primary port could become blocked in some situations causing the front brake caliper pistons to retract. If this happens, the gap could increase between the front brake pad and discs resulting in a sudden and unexpected increase in braking distance leading to an accident.
Suzuki also issued a stop-sale notification on all unsold 2022 Hayabusa motorcycles until this issue is fixed. Suzuki has reported the issue to its dealerships. Moreover, Suzuki will notify any known registered owners about the recall on March 1, 2023.
Owners of recalled 2022 Hayabusas are urged to contact their local Suzuki dealership to have their motorcycles serviced. The service includes the installation of a replacement front brake master cylinder body. Suzuki estimates the total time for this brake service to be under one hour.
2022 Hayabusa owners should contact Suzuki and mention recall number 2A99. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety or visit www.nhtsa.gov for more information about the recall. The NHTSA’s recall campaign number is 23V-088.
