Suzuki Hayabusa Recalled: Here is the reason
The problem lies in the front brake lever’s play, which, in the most severe cases, may cause the lever to come into contact with the throttle grip. This contact could lead to an increased braking distance, raising concerns for riders’ safety during sudden stops or emergency braking scenarios. While the Hayabusa Gen-3 marked a significant improvement over previous models with upgraded braking systems, including Brembo Stylema calipers and 10mm larger discs, this latest recall underscores Suzuki’s commitment to proactively addressing safety issues.
To date, Suzuki India has reported no known incidents or injuries associated with this brake issue. However, the company encourages all affected Hayabusa owners to bring their motorcycles to authorized service centers for inspection. While Suzuki has not yet provided a specific timeline for repairs, they assure customers that the necessary fixes will be carried out free of charge as soon as possible.
Suzuki India’s Hayabusa has enjoyed immense popularity among Indian superbike enthusiasts, and this recall reflects the company’s dedication to upholding high safety standards. Owners of affected models are advised to monitor updates from Suzuki for more details on service timelines and specific repair procedures.
With safety being a top priority, Suzuki’s voluntary recall is a reminder to the motorcycle industry and owners alike of the importance of consistent maintenance and prompt response to safety concerns.
