If You Own A New Suzuki DR-Z400S or SM, There's A Recall For A Rear Brake Issue

Suzuki

Suzuki Motor USA is recalling all 2025 and some 2026 DR-Z400S and DR-Z400SM motorcycles sold in the US over a specific rear brake issue. The problem? Screws used to fix the reservoir tank for the rear brake master cylinder reservoir were not tightened properly on the affected motorcycles.

If this situation exists on a bike, it could result in leaking brake fluid and possibly in the rear brake not working as it should, which could increase your risk of a crash and/or injury. Also, it can result in brake fluid leaking onto places it shouldn't; and remember, brake fluid can do a number on your paint.

According to Suzuki's records, approximately 3,003 motorcycles are believed to be affected. This represents 100% of the population. All 2025 DR-Zs are included in this recall, as well as 2026 model year bikes that were produced prior to November 14, 2025.
