Suzuki’s most sought-after bike, the Hayabusa, has been recalled in India over a potential issue with the front brake. A total of 1056 units of the 3rd generation Hayabusa have been recalled.
Reason For Recall
The recall of Suzuki Hayabusa is due to a potential problem with the front brake levers. While applying the brakes, the front brake lever becomes so soft that it can be pulled all the way back until it touches the accelerator. This reduces the feedback and affects the braking performance. In the worst-case scenario, this issue could be dangerous as it reduces braking efficiency and increases stopping distance, potentially leading to accidents.
For those unaware, the Hayabusa gets a twin 320mm disc up front from Brembo linked to the Brembo Stylema callipers. Towards the rear, it gets a single disc with a Nissin calliper.
The brand will soon contact the owners of affected customers to schedule an appointment so that the issue can be rectified.
