2005–2006 Suzuki Gsx-R1000 Recall

On certain motorcycles, crash forces or hazardous maneuvers such as extreme or extended wheelies or other stunts causing extreme stress to the frame can result in frame cracking or breakage behind and below the steering neck, while ordinary vehicle operation does not create a risk of such frame cracking or breakage. Suzuki believes that this issue does not constitute a "defect" within the meaning of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act because such extreme maneuvers are far outside the ordinary and reasonable operation of the vehicles involved. However, as a precautionary measure for the sake of owners and operators, Suzuki has voluntarily decided to conduct this safety improvement campaign. Correction: Frame will be inspected for cracks behind and below the steering neck. If no cracks are found, a lightweight, aluminum reinforcement brace will be attached to the frame. Should cracks be found during the inspection, the frame will be replaced with a new frame that has the reinforcement brace installed.
