JAKARTA - Suzuki Motor USA has to recall or recall the 2025 DR-Z400S and DR-Z400SM motorcycle models. A total of about 3,003 motorcycles are believed to be affected or represent 100 percent of the population.
Based on the report of Rideapart, quoted, Wednesday, December 31, the problem that occurs due to certain rear brakes screws used to mount the reservoir tank for the master reservoir of the rear brake cylinder, is not properly tightened on the affected motorcycles.
If this situation occurs on a bicycle, it can result in brake fluid leakage and the possibility that the rear brake does not function as it should, which can increase the risk of accidents and even injuries.
In addition, this can cause brake fluid to leak to places it shouldn't; and remember, brake fluid can damage motorcycle paint.
Regarding the warning signs that may appear to indicate this problem, Suzuki said that users can see brake fluid leaks at the seal of the master cylinder cover of the rear brake and/or reservoir through visual inspection.
Suzuki has been tracking and trying to diagnose the root cause of this problem since November 2025, and finally traced it back to a tool with incorrect torque settings used in the production process.
As of November 18, 2025, Suzuki introduced a confirmation process to check whether the correct torque has been applied to the bolts on motorcycles produced from that date. Thus, the motorcycle should not be affected by this problem.
Suzuki notified its dealer network of the issue on December 17, 2025. They plan to notify registered owners of the affected DR-Z on or around January 9, 2025.
Owners will be instructed to contact their local Suzuki authorized dealer for inspection and recall service, which will be provided at no cost to customers.
