Mexico Issues Alert for 8,347 Suzuki Motorcycles Over Brake and Starter Defects

Mexico's consumer watchdog publicized an indefinite, no-cost fix campaign with oversight for compliance.

Overview

  • The alert covers 8,170 GSX250/F motorcycles from model years 2022–2025 and 177 DR150 units from 2026 sold in Mexico.
  • On some GSX250/F units, mismatched rear brake caliper assemblies can misalign pad contact, reducing braking performance.
  • Certain DR150 motorcycles may have a cracked starter-relay resin housing that allows corrosion and prevents the engine from starting.
  • Suzuki will replace the rear caliper support or the starter-relay assembly at no charge, including motorcycles beyond the original two-year warranty.
  • Profeco will oversee implementation and invites consumer reports through its official hotlines and social channels, while Suzuki directs owners to authorized dealers and its service contacts.
