2000 SUZUKI HAYABUSA — Complaint #288329

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about PARKING BRAKE:DRIVELINE filed April 23, 2001

NHTSA complaint #288329 (ODI reference 886467) concerns a 2000 SUZUKI HAYABUSA and was filed on April 23, 2001. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 31, 2001. The report was geocoded to Michigan based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as parking brake:driveline, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same SUZUKI HAYABUSA cohort independently describe similar parking brake:driveline failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2000 SUZUKI HAYABUSA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
