SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
Suzuki Motor Corporation (Suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2013 GSX1300RA Hayabusa motorcycles manufactured January 22, 2013, through April 26, 2013. Due to a manufacturing error, the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) may malfunction and lose anti-lock functionality.
DURING THE ASSEMBLY OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT, A CHIP OF ALUMINUM MAY HAVE BEEN DISLODGED AND REMAIN IN THE ABS UNIT. THE ALUMINUM CHIP MAY PREVENT NORMAL OPERATION OF THE CHECK VALVE. WHILE THE NORMAL BRAKING SYSTEM WILL REMAIN FULLY OPERATIVE, THE ALUMINUM CHIP MAY CAUSE THE ABS FUNCTION TO NOT PERFORM PROPERLY. I THE ABS FUNCTION DOES NOT PERFORM PROPERLY, UNEXPECTED TIRE SKIDDING DURING HARD OR PANIC BRAKING MAY OCCUR, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP BY PHONE AND VIA EMAIL, BUT HAVE BEEN IGNORED. *TR
