# NHTSA recall 13V449000 A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups. - Published by: NHTSA \(United States\) - Campaign number: 13V449000 - Manufacturer's number: 2A \(31\-36\) - Manufacturer: Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. - Reported: 2013\-10\-18 - Owners notified: 2013\-11\-18 - Component: SERVICE BRAKES - Units potentially affected: 208966 ## What is wrong Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. \(Suzuki\) is recalling certain model year 2004\-2013 GSX\-R600 and GSX\-R750, and model year 2005\-2013 GSX\-R1000 motorcycles. In combination with older brake fluid, corrosion of the brake piston inside of the front brake master cylinder generates gas that may result in a reduction of fluid pressure transmission to the front brake. ## What can happen As a result, front braking power may be reduced increasing the risk of a crash. ## The remedy Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front brake master cylinder, free of charge. The recall began on November 18, 2013. Owners may contact Suzuki at 1\-800\-572\-1490. Suzuki's campaign numbers for this recall are: 2A \(31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36\). ## Notes Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov. ## Remedy progress the manufacturer reported - Report: Quarterly report 6, for 2015 quarter 1 - Filed with NHTSA: 2015\-04\-30 - Vehicles in the campaign: 208966 - Reported remedied: 63082 \(30%\) - Reported unreachable: 18842 - Reported removed: 24311 These are the manufacturer's totals for the whole campaign at the end of 2015 quarter 1, as filed with NHTSA.
