Suzuki motorcycle master cylinder primary sleeve swollen, blocking bore due to oil additive

Country	European Union

Country of origin	Japan
Manufacturer	Suzuki
Models affected	GSX1300R (HAYABUSA)
Defect	Due to an oil additive in the membrane, the primary sleeve in the master cylinder has become swollen and can block the bore. Cooling of the brake fluid can cause a drop in the pressure within the braking system, leading the brake-calliper pistons to be drawn inwards. This can cause greater play in the brake lever. The brake lever can come into contact with the throttle, resulting in an increase in braking distance. This can increase the risk of accidents and injuries.
Remedy	Recall of the product from end users.
Recall number	A12/03700/24
