One complaint can name several systems, so shares can add to more than 100 percent.
Model-generated complaint tags: This model year has not been tagged.
Defect: Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2004-2013 GSX-R600 and GSX-R750, and model year 2005-2013 GSX-R1000 motorcycles. In combination with older brake fluid, corrosion of the brake piston inside of the front brake master cylinder generates gas that may result in a reduction of fluid pressure transmission to the front brake.
Consequence: As a result, front braking power may be reduced increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front brake master cylinder, free of charge. The recall began on November 18, 2013. Owners may contact Suzuki at 1-800-572-1490. Suzuki's campaign numbers for this recall are: 2A (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36).
Defect: AMERICAN SUZUKI (SUZUKI) IS CONDUCTING A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN INVOLVING 26,082 MY 2005-2006 GSX-R1000 MOTORCYCLES.

REPEATED HARD LANDINGS FROM HAZARDOUS MANEUVERS SUCH AS EXTREME OR EXTENDED WHEELIES OR OTHER STUNTS MAY GENERATE SUFFICIENT STRESS TO CAUS (excerpt)
Consequence: IF THE FRAME BECOMES BROKEN DURING EXTREME USE, A CRASH COULD OCCUR. (excerpt)
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FRAME FOR CRACKS. IF NO CRACKS ARE FOUND, A FRAME REINFORCEMENT BRACE WILL BE ATTACHED TO THE FRAME USING BOLTS AND EPOXY ADHESIVE. SHOULD CRACKS BE FOUND DURING THE INSPECTION, THE FRAME WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW FRAME THAT HAS THE REINFORCEMENT BRACE INSTALLED. THE CAMPAIGN BEGAN ON JANUARY 21, 2009.

Notes on this record
Complaints from the API and bulk file are merged and deduplicated by ODI number; the API alone misses records.
System and subsystem counts are numbers of distinct complaints, recalls or communications that name them. One record can name several systems, so shares across systems can add to more than 100 percent; a single share never exceeds 100 percent.
Recalls are counted once per campaign, investigations once per action and manufacturer communications once per NHTSA id, even when NHTSA lists several model names for the same record.
A sales denominator is a calendar-year proxy, not the population of vehicles still in use. Rates are copied from verified pipeline output.
