1,056 units of Suzuki Hayabusa superbike recalled in India, know the reason
Suzuki Hayabusa Recall: Suzuki Motorcycle India has issued a voluntary recall for the Hayabusa due to a potential problem.
Suzuki Motorcycle India has issued a voluntary recall for the Hayabusa due to a potential problem in the front brake. With 1,056 units affected, the Suzuki Hayabusa third-generation model is also included in the recall's scope. The recall appears to have impacted a significant number of vehicles of the third-generation Hayabusa, which went on sale in India in 2021.
According to the recall notification, Suzuki said, "There is a problem with the front brake lever. In the worst case, the lever contacts the throttle grip, and the braking distance increases."
This means the front brake lever of the recalled bikes has been affected which may become soft upon pressing and contact the handlebar. However, the front brake may not apply as firmly as one would expect, leading to increased braking distances. It is a safety concern per se and can be life-threatening in an emergency braking situation. Suzuki is supposed to contact the customers individually for the recall. But the company has not announced officially the details about the order.
