Recall Details
Suzuki Motorcycle India has announced a recall affecting 1,056 units of the third-generation Hayabusa. This recall impacts bikes manufactured between March 2021 and September 2024 due to a potential issue with the brake lever.
Safety Concern
The recall stems from a problem where the front brake lever may experience increased play, potentially causing it to come into contact with the throttle grip. This could lead to decreased braking performance, increasing stopping distances—an alarming concern for a high-performance motorcycle like the Hayabusa.
Specifications
The Hayabusa is powered by a 1,340 cc, liquid-cooled, inline-four engine producing 187 bhp and 150 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed gearbox. It features Brembo Stylema brakes, allowing for impressive performance with a top speed of 299 km/h.
Pricing and Popularity
Launched in 2021, the Suzuki Hayabusa is currently priced at Rs 16.90 lakh (ex-showroom). The model has gained significant recognition in India, often selling out shortly after its introduction.
Next Steps
While Suzuki has acknowledged the issue, details on how they plan to rectify it have yet to be released. Owners of affected units are advised to stay tuned for further announcements regarding the recall process.
