What's wrong
Suzuki Motor USA, LLC (Suzuki) is recalling certain 2025-2026 DR-Z400S and 2025 DR-Z400SM motorcycles. The reservoir tank cap fixing screws may have been incorrectly tightened, allowing brake fluid to leak. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 122, âMotorcycle Brake Systems.â
Why it matters
A brake fluid leak can reduce braking ability, increasing the distance required to stop and the risk of a crash.
