Suzuki Motor USA, LLC (Suzuki) is recalling certain 2025-2026 DR-Z400S and 2025 DR-Z400SM motorcycles.

Corrective Actions: Suzuki will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your motorcycle to a dealership to tighten the rear brake reservoir cap screws.

On certain motorcycles, the contacts in the rear stop lamp switch may have poor connectivity due to an issue during manufacturing. This could prevent the stop lamp from illuminating when only the rear brake is applied, which could result in following road users being unaware of the intent of the operator to slow the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the stop lamp switch assembly.
