## What is wrong

Suzuki Motor USA, LLC \(Suzuki\) is recalling certain 2025\-2026 DR\-Z400S and 2025 DR\-Z400SM motorcycles. The reservoir tank cap fixing screws may have been incorrectly tightened, allowing brake fluid to leak. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 122, “Motorcycle Brake Systems.”


## What can happen

A brake fluid leak can reduce braking ability, increasing the distance required to stop and the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will tighten the screws, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 9, 2026. Owners may contact Suzuki customer service at 1\-800\-934\-0934. Vehicle Identification Numbers \(VINs\) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on December 20, 2025.
