Suzuki GSX-R1000 Recall
American Suzuki Motorcycle Corporation has recently issued a recall of more than 26,000 2005 and 2006 GSX-R1000 model sport bikes. A safety defect in the motorcycle causes cracking and/or breaking in the frame’s front wheel/fork assembly, as well as cracking and/or breaking behind and below the sport bike’s steering neck. In the most severe situations, the Suzuki GSX-R1000 frame defect has caused the front steering mechanism to detach from the body of the bike during operation, causing the operator to completely lose control. However, even minor cracks or breaks in a motorcycle’s frame will interfere with the driver’s ability to handle or maneuver the motorcycle, and may result in a catastrophic—even deadly—crash.
