Fatal crashes in the US
From 2020 to 2023, 129 GSX1300R vehicles were involved in crashes on US public roads in which someone died, and 126 people died inside them. These are counts, not crash rates: a model with more cars on the road shows up more often, and people killed outside the vehicle are not counted here.

EU safety alerts
Safety Gate, the European Union's rapid alert system, names the GSX1300R in 3 alerts. European versions can differ from the North American car.
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 i…
The bolts connecting the brake pipes to the anti-lock braking system (ABS) unit may come loose. This can lead to a leakage of brake fluid and increase the braking distance, creating a risk of accident and injuries. The product does not comply with the Regulati…
Excessive front brake lever travel, which can increase the braking distance and result in accidents and injuries. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles.

Recalls
5 campaigns cover the GSX1300R.
Suzuki Motor USA, LLC (Suzuki) is recalling certain 2022-2024 GSX1300R (Hayabusa) motorcycles. The master cylinder internal rubber components may swell due to contamination from the brake fluid cap diaphragm, which can result in a blocked brake fluid port. As such, these motorcycles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 122, "Motorcycle Brake Systems."
Suzuki Motor USA, LLC (Suzuki) is recalling certain 2024 GSX1300R motorcycles. The brake fluid pipe flare nut for the brake fluid supply line may have been tightened incorrectly and cause a brake fluid leak.
Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 AN400, AN400A, DL1000, GSX1300R, 2008-2009 GSF1250S and GSF1250SA, 2008 GSX1300BK and GSX1300BKA, 2008-2010 GSX650F, GSX-R600, GSX-R750, VLR1800, VLR1800T, and 2009-2010 SFV650 and VZ1500 motorcycles. Due to a problem with the circuit board for the regulator/rectifier power module, the motorcycle may not sufficiently charge the battery and the motorcycle may stall.
SUZUKI IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008 THROUGH 2010 MOTORCYCLES MANUFACTURED FROM JULY 2007 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2009, EQUIPPED WITH REGULATOR/RECTIFIER ASSEMBLIES, SUZUKI PART NUMBERS 32800-41F11, 32800-15H10, 32800-05H11, 32800-41G10, 32800-15H00, 32800-18H00, 32800-05G10, 32800-10G10, 32800-05H20, OR 32800-06G01. SOME REGULATOR/RECTIFIER ASSEMBLIES WERE PRODUCED WITH INSUFFICIENT ADHESION BETWEEN THE POWER MODULE (CIRCUIT BOARD) AND THE RECTIFIER CASE THAT CONTAINS A HEAT SINK TO DISSIPATE HEAT. DUE TO INSUFFICIENT ADHESION, HEAT GENERATED ON THE POWER MODULE CIRCUIT BOARD CAN CAUSE THE CIRCUIT BOARD TO DEFORM, AND LIFT OF THE CASE.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, THE SPRING IN THE CAM CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTER CAN BREAK. EXCESSIVE SLACK WILL DEVELOP IN THE CAM CHAIN, ALLOWING THE CHAIN TO JUMP TO THE WRONG POSITION ON THE CAM SHAFT SPROCKETS.
