Summary: American Suzuki (Suzuki) is conducting a safety improvement campaign involving 26,082 my 2005-2006 gsx-R1000 motorcycles. Cracking or breakage of the motorcycle frame can occur in certain extreme situations where unusually high stress is placed on the frame. Repeated hard landings from hazardous maneuvers such as extreme or extended wheelies or other stunts may generate sufficient stress to cause this problem.
Consequence: If the frame becomes broken during extreme use, a crash could occur.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the frame for cracks. If no cracks are found, a frame reinforcement brace will be attached to the frame using bolts and epoxy adhesive. Should cracks be found during the inspection, the frame will be replaced with a new frame that has the reinforcement brace installed. The campaign began on January 21, 2009. Owners may contact Suzuki at 1-714-572-1490.
Notes: Suzuki campaign no. 2A08.THIS action is deemed a safety improvement campaign and is not being conducted under the safety act. However, Suzuki has informed NHTSA that it will provide the modifications described above free of charge.

Has your Suzuki been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Suzuki dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
