Transport Canada recalls

Brakes#2025683December 12, 2025
324 units affected
Issue: On certain motorcycles, the rear brake reservoir cap screws may not have been tightened properly. As a result, the screws could loosen and cause brake fluid to leak from the rear brake master cylinder reservoir. This could cause reduced braking. Safety Risk: Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Suzuki will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your motorcycle to a dealership to tighten the rear brake reservoir cap screws.
