Recall 24V769 affects 6,338 2022-2024 Suzuki GSX1300R motorcycles for a blocked front brake fluid port. Repair is free at any franchised Suzuki dealer.
Suzuki is recalling 6,338 2022-2024 GSX1300R motorcycles because contamination from the brake fluid cap diaphragm can swell internal rubber parts in the master cylinder and block a brake fluid port. A blocked port can increase stopping distance and crash risk, and Suzuki dealers will complete the recall repair free of charge.

What's wrong?
The front brake master cylinder on 2022-2024 Suzuki GSX1300R motorcycles turns brake lever movement into hydraulic pressure for the front brake. Inside it, rubber seal cups move with the piston and help push brake fluid through the port to the front brake system. The cap diaphragm sits at the brake fluid reservoir and helps seal the fluid from outside contamination.
On affected motorcycles, material from that diaphragm reacts with the brake fluid. Elements from the diaphragm migrate into the fluid and cause the rubber seal cups inside the master cylinder to swell. If the primary seal cup gets large enough, it blocks the front brake master cylinder primary port, which reduces the brake force available when the rider pulls the lever.
The warning sign is excess travel in the front brake lever when it is first applied. In that condition, braking force is reduced, so the lever feel matters before the motorcycle is ridden again.
Who's affected?
All listed model years point to the same hydraulic brake system component, so the VIN check matters more than the model name alone.
| 2023 Suzuki GSX1300R | hydraulic brake system |
|---|---|
| 2022 Suzuki GSX1300R | hydraulic brake system |
| 2024 Suzuki GSX1300R | hydraulic brake system |
| Units affected | 6,338 |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorcycle is included.
What's the safety risk?
A blocked brake fluid port can make the motorcycle take longer to stop, increasing crash risk. If the front brake lever has excess travel on first pull, braking performance is not normal. Ride cautiously and arrange service promptly. Repair is free at any franchised Suzuki dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022-2024 Suzuki GSX1300R is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Suzuki dealer to schedule the free front brake master cylinder body and brake fluid cap diaphragm replacement that addresses the blocked brake fluid port.
- Reference recall number 24V769 and Suzuki recall 3A04 when you call the dealer.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, and ask the dealer to confirm the new remedy if your motorcycle was repaired under recall 23V-088.
- Ride with extra stopping distance until the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Suzuki technician replaces the front brake master cylinder body and the brake fluid cap diaphragm. The replacement parts and labor are free under the recall, and motorcycles repaired under earlier recall 23V-088 still need this new remedy completed. Suzuki has a reimbursement plan for owners who paid out of pocket for repairs tied to this condition. Bring repair invoices, receipts, and any brake system paperwork to the service desk, or contact Suzuki Customer Service if the dealer asks for manufacturer review.
